The Query Processing layer of Snowflake is wherevirtual warehouses operate, so warehouse sizing parameters (X-Small to 6X-Large) fall under this layer. Warehouse size determines compute power, concurrency, and performance behavior for SQL workloads. Administrators configure warehouse size based on workload intensity, response time requirements, and cost considerations.
Serverless compute limits and micro-partition limits belong to storage and services layers. Table types (permanent, transient, temporary) are storage-level configurations, not part of Query Processing.
Thus, warehouse sizing is the correct parameter configured at the Query Processing layer.
