What section of Snowflake UI manages compute resources?

1. Databases

2. Warehouses

3. Worksheets

4. History

The correct answer is: Warehouses

The section of the Snowflake UI that manages compute resources is the one that deals specifically with the concept of warehouses. Warehouses in Snowflake represent the compute clusters that execute SQL commands and perform data operations. Each warehouse can be scaled up or down based on the workload and can operate independently. This flexibility enables users to optimize their resource usage and manage costs effectively by adjusting the compute resources according to demand. In contrast, the other sections serve different purposes: the Databases section focuses on data storage and organization, Worksheets are used for running SQL queries and visualizing data, and the History section provides insights into past queries and operations but does not manage compute resources directly. Thus, the choice related to warehouses is clearly aligned with the management of compute functionality in Snowflake.
