What is “Snowflake Adaptive Compute” and how does it simplify operations?

Snowflake Adaptive Compute (in private preview) is the next evolution of Snowflake's compute service. It automates infrastructure choices by automatically selecting the appropriate cluster size(s), number of clusters, and auto-suspend/resume duration for jobs. It also intelligently routes queries to right-sized clusters without user action, saving time, minimizing configurations, and improving price/performance. Warehouses created using this service are called Adaptive Warehouses.
