Inside the ARA-C01 exam, in numbers
This exam is written for people who design Snowflake platforms, not just use them. Expect long scenarios where several answers work and only one is the best architectural choice.
Exam Blueprint
How the whole exam splits across four domains
Each ring shows the share of the exam. Architecture is the largest domain, and the other three are close behind it.
Snowflake Architecture
Benefits and limits of different data models, and designing data-sharing solutions for different use cases, including Marketplace and Data Exchange.
Accounts and Security
Account and database strategy from business needs, plus security, privacy, compliance, and governance design.
Data Engineering
Designing the flow of data from source to consumption, including ingestion and transformation pipelines.
Performance Optimization
Tuning workloads with Snowflake features and third-party tools while keeping cost under control.
Architect Mindset
Four lenses every answer is judged through
When two options look right, test them against these questions. The better answer usually satisfies more of them.
Governance
Who may see this data, and how do roles, policies, and sharing keep it compliant?
Performance
Will it stay fast as data and users grow, and which tools help keep it that way?
Cost
Does each workload use the right amount of compute and storage, and can spend be attributed?
Reliability
What happens when something fails, and how do replication and recovery protect the business?
Topics worth a second look
- Replication vs failover
- Secure views vs row access policies
- Data mesh patterns
- Cost attribution
- Cross-cloud strategy
- Marketplace and Data Exchange
