Snowflake ARA-R01 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

The error message indicates that the IP address in the error message is not allowed to access Snowflake because it is not in the allowed list of the network policy. The network policy is a feature that allows restricting access to Snowflake based on IP addresses or ranges. To resolve this error, the Architect should take the following steps:

• Add the IP address in the error message to the allowed list in the network policy. This will allow the IP address to access Snowflake using the Private Link URLs. Alternatively, the Architect can disable the network policy if it is not required for security reasons.
• Update the configuration of the Azure AD SSO to use the Private Link URLs. This will ensure that the SSO authentication process uses the Private Link URLs instead of the public URLs. The configuration can be updated by following the steps in the Azure documentation1.

These two steps should resolve the error and ensure that the account is accessed using only Private Link. The other options are not necessary or relevant for this scenario. Altering the Azure security integration to use the Private Link URLs is not required because the security integration is used for SCIM provisioning, not for SSO authentication. Generating a new SCIM access token using system$generate_scim_access_token and saving it to Azure AD is not required because the SCIM access token is used for SCIM provisioning, not for SSO authentication. Opening a case with Snowflake Support to authorize the Private Link URLs’ access to the account is not required because the authorization can be done by the account administrator using the SYSTEM$AUTHORIZE_PRIVATELINK function2.

The correct answer is option B. This query is designed to assess the need for a multi-cluster warehouse by examining the queuing time (AVG_QUEUED_LOAD) on different days and virtual warehouses. When the AVG_QUEUED_LOAD is greater than zero, it suggests that queries are waiting for resources, which can be an indicator that performance might be improved by using a multi-cluster warehouse to handle the workload more efficiently. By grouping by date and warehouse name and filtering on the sum of the average queued load being greater than zero, the query identifies specific days and warehouses where the workload exceeded the available compute resources. This information is valuable when considering scaling out warehouses to multi-cluster configurations for improved performance.

According to the SnowPro Advanced: Architect documents and learning resources, column masking policies are applied at query time based on the privileges of the user who runs the query. Therefore, if a user has the privilege to see unmasked data in a column, they will see the original data when they query that column. If they load this column data into another column that does not have a masking policy, the unmasked data will be loaded in the new column, and any user who can query the new column will see the unmasked data as well. The masking policy does not affect the underlying data in the column, only the query results.
