20 CHAMPION GUIDES Once query tagging and object tagging is in place, you can build an accurate chargeback model easily by allocating credits consumed by shared resources. Applications and providers can expose the chargeback data to each of their customers in a separate database using private, secure data sharing similar to Account_Usage. If your data consumers are also Snowflake customers, you can use Snowflake Secure Data Sharing to share usage data immediately from its original location, without copying or moving the data (see Figure 2). For data consumers that are not Snowflake customers, you can leverage reader accounts to provide similarly straightforward access to usage data. Snowflake Data Marketplace offers another way to easily share data and leverage Snowflake’s built-in pricing models and billing infrastructure to create new product lines with consumption-based pricing. Data governance and security Snowflake provides robust security features that allow developers to incorporate governance every step of the way. For example, Snowflake provides a rich set of role-based access controls and dynamic data masking features, such as row access policies and column-level masking, to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data. Powerful data classification features and tagging make it easy to track and categorize sensitive data. These features allow SaaS providers to create charge- back views and share them with customers using appropriate row-level security, so customers see only their data—an elegant solution that helps increase customer trust. © 20 20 Snowflake Inc.
