Wait, Snowflake doesn't have its own authentication system? I thought they were the cool kids of the data world. Guess they're just outsourcing the hard stuff.

I'm just happy we don't have to integrate directly with external databases. That sounds like a nightmare. Option D is a big nope from me.

Who needs real-time monitoring when you can just let someone else handle the authentication? A federated approach is the way to go, guys.

A federated environment allows Snowflake to delegate user authentication to trusted identity providers, which enhances security and privacy. Option A is the clear winner here.
