Account object replication, failover/failback, and client redirect require which edition or higher?

• A. Business Critical or higher
• B. VPS
• C. Standard
• D. Enterprise

Answer: (A)

These features are advanced disaster recovery and regional resilience capabilities that Snowflake provides only in higher-edition tiers. Account object replication lets you replicate account metadata (like users, roles, shares, and policies) across regions, while failover/failback and client redirect enable switching traffic to a secondary region and directing clients to the correct region during and after a disruption. Because these capabilities add significant governance, security, and availability requirements, they’re not included in the standard or lower editions. They’re available starting with Business Critical and in any edition above it. That’s why the best answer is Business Critical or higher.
