Snowflake Credit

A unit of measure Snowflake uses to quantify computational resources consumed during operations. Snowflake bills at a negotiated cost per credit.

Keebo Credit

A unit of measure Keebo uses to quantify the Snowflake credits Warehouse Optimization has saved. One Keebo credit equals one Snowflake credit saved.

Keebo Organization

Each customer has one Keebo organization. All accounts and warehouses are managed within this organization.

Optimization Decision

An optimization decision occurs each time Warehouse Optimization evaluates whether to change a warehouse's settings. Optimization decisions are visible on the Optimization page.

Multi-Cluster Optimization (MCO)

Warehouse Optimization automatically reduces the maximum number of clusters when a multi-cluster warehouse is underutilized, minimizing unnecessary scale-out.

Automated Downsizing

Warehouse Optimization automatically downsizes a warehouse when it is underutilized.

Memory Optimization

Warehouse Optimization optimizes cost and performance by continuously comparing the cost of losing a warehouse's cache against the cost of keeping the warehouse running.

Labels

Labels can be assigned to warehouses within Warehouse Optimization. These are separate from Snowflake labels and query tags.

Evaluation Window

The time interval in which Warehouse Optimization makes an optimization decision. For example, a 15-minute evaluation window means Warehouse Optimization evaluates and makes a decision every 15 minutes.
