Company A has recently acquired company B. The Snowflake deployment for company B is located in the Azure West Europe region. As part of the integration process, an Architect has been asked to consolidate company B's sales data into company A's Snowflake account which is located in the AWS us-east-1 region. How can this requirement be met?
Replicate the sales data from company B's Snowflake account into company A's Snowflake account using cross-region data replication within Snowflake. Configure a direct share from company B's account to company A's account.
Export the sales data from company B's Snowflake account as CSV files, and transfer the files to company A's Snowflake account. Import the data using Snowflake's data loading capabilities.
Migrate company B's Snowflake deployment to the same region as company A's Snowflake deployment, ensuring data locality. Then perform a direct database-to-database merge of the sales data.
Build a custom data pipeline using Azure Data Factory or a similar tool to extract the sales data from company B's Snowflake account. Transform the data, then load it into company A's Snowflake account.
