Which statement about Snowflake replication is true?

• A. Replication is limited to the same region
• B. Replication is supported only within a single cloud provider
• C. Replication is supported across regions and across cloud platforms
• D. Replication is not available for accounts

Answer: (C)

Snowflake replication is designed to copy a database to another Snowflake account in a different region or even a different cloud provider, to support disaster recovery and data distribution. This means you can replicate across regions within the same cloud and also across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP). The replication is asynchronous, so changes in the source appear in the replica over time, enabling seamless failover and failback without impacting the primary workload. The idea that replication is limited to a single region or a single cloud provider isn’t accurate, and replication is indeed available for accounts for DR purposes.
