What is true with respect to failing resource provisioning with warehouses?

• A. The warehouse begins executing SQL after resources are provisioned
• B. If all resources fail the warehouse still runs
• C. If any resources fail to provision during start-up, Snowflake attempts to repair the failed resources
• D. The warehouse consumes credits only after repair finishes

Answer: (C)

During startup, a warehouse provisions the necessary compute resources. If any resource fails to provision, Snowflake automatically tries to repair or re-provision those failed components so the warehouse can come online without manual intervention. This automatic remediation during start-up is why that option is correct. If the repair cannot succeed, startup may fail, but Snowflake will first attempt to fix the failed resources instead of leaving the warehouse non-operational. Credits, meanwhile, accrue based on active compute time, not waiting for repair to finish.
