To use Snowflake across multiple regions, you must maintain a separate Snowflake account in each region.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not required
• D. Only if replication

Answer: (B)

Snowflake accounts are tied to the region where they’re created, with their own data, metadata, and billing. A single Snowflake account cannot span multiple regions. To operate in more than one region, you need a separate Snowflake account in each region you want to use. If you’re aiming for cross-region capabilities such as disaster recovery or global access, you set up replication or data sharing between these regional accounts, but the target region still requires its own account. So, using Snowflake across multiple regions inherently involves maintaining separate accounts in each region.
