A data scientist has developed a Snowpark Python stored procedure named 'model_training'. This procedure utilizes a large machine learning model and requires significant compute resources. The data scientist wants to optimize the cost and performance of running this stored procedure. Which of the following strategies would be the MOST effective for achieving this goal?
Correct Answer: C
Specifying a warehouse size and using auto-suspend and auto-resume provides a balance between performance and cost. Option A might increase costs due to idle time. Option B relies on Snowflake's default warehouse, which might not be optimal. Option D could increase overall execution time due to overhead. Option E may not be feasible or efficient if the logic is heavily dependent on Python libraries. Therefore, specifically assigning an appropriate warehouse size with auto-suspend/resume is the most effective approach.
