Question

A large enterprise has 12 separate Snowflake accounts across its business units.

Which Snowflake data collaboration feature best fits this requirement?

A Data Exchange, where the enterprise acts as the exchange administrator and invites specific member accounts to publish and consume listings

Answer

A public listing on the Snowflake Marketplace so any of the 12 accounts can freely subscribe

Answer

A set of reader accounts created for each business unit to consume shared data

Answer

A single direct share created by the governance team and shared once with all 12 accounts
