If the Organizations feature is enabled, specifying the Snowflake Region ID as part of an account identifier is required when you create a new account and configure replication and failover?

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Required only for replication
• D. Required only for failover

Answer: (A)

When you enable the Organizations feature, account identifiers become region-aware. Including the Snowflake Region ID as part of the account identifier is required when you create a new account and set up replication and failover because each region hosts its own data and endpoints. The Region ID tells Snowflake which region to provisioning the new account in and which region to target for replication and for failover operations. This region-specific routing is essential to correctly establish cross-region replication and to switch over to a replica in the appropriate region during failover. Since both replication and failover depend on knowing the correct region, this requirement applies to the account creation and to configuring those capabilities. Therefore, the statement is true.
