Question

A FinOps analyst wants to attribute warehouse credit consumption to individual business units for chargeback reporting. Each warehouse should be labeled with the owning department, and the analyst needs to later query credit usage grouped by that department label. Which Snowflake governance feature should the analyst apply to the warehouses to enable this attribution?

Accepted Answer

Create object tags (e.g., a 'cost_center' tag) and assign tag values to each warehouse, then join tag references with usage views

Answer

Apply a masking policy to the warehouse metadata columns so each department only sees its own credits

Answer

Create a resource monitor per department and rely on the monitor name to group usage

Answer

Apply a row access policy to the WAREHOUSE_METERING_HISTORY view to filter rows by department
