Compute Layer/Query Processing Layer
Cloud Services Layer

Snowflake is provisioned on the Cloud, storage is elastic and is charged as per the usage per TB every month.
Compute Layer:

Snowflake uses "Virtual Warehouse" for running queries.
Virtual Warehouses are MPP compute clusters consisting of multiple nodes with CPU and memory provisioned on the cloud.
Multiple Virtual Warehouses are created to mange the workload.
Cloud Services Layer:

All the activities such as authentication, security, load management and query optimization are done by cloud service layer.
