Why is it so important to have an account in AZURE_CANADACENTRAL?
Exchanges are specific to a particular region. In order for Snowflake to offer this workshop where everyone can create and edit listings, we had to choose a region. We chose Azure as the platform and Canada Central (Toronto) as the regional location.

Workshop 1 is the base for any activity in Snowflake. You should be aware of SQL, Snowflake Web UI to do any activity in Snowflake. Hence, to make this workshop smooth for everybody Snowflake recommend taking Workshop 1 as prerequisite.
Brief about workshop 2:
This workshop has a detail course attached to it. Meaning you get full support for ground up in Snowflake Data Sharing. First your concepts will be cleared for each topic which is followed by hands-on lab. The Course is very beautifully designed keeping in mind that a person may or may not have prior experience. Since this is a unique concept in Snowflake, so I would suggest paying attention toward the lesson. Also, you will get quite few question around this topic in SnowPro Core Certification, so it is a good idea to clear your concept during theory & practical lab session. If you think whether you will be able to complete this course and project than don’t worry this course is designed in such a way that everybody will be successful. Course outlay looks something like this:
Once you are done with all learning and labs you have to submit your labs output in a PDF format to Snowflake University team for review.

Brief About Data Sharing in Snowflake(Source: Snowflake):
Secure Data Sharing enables sharing selected objects in a database in your account with other Snowflake accounts. The following Snowflake database objects can be shared:
- Tables
- External tables
- Secure views
- Secure materialized views
- Secure UDFs
Snowflake enables the sharing of databases through shares, which are created by data providers and “imported” by data consumers. All database objects shared between accounts are read-only (i.e. the objects cannot be modified or deleted, including adding or modifying table data).
Snowflake provides three product offerings for data sharing that utilize Snowflake Secure Data Sharing to connect providers of data with consumers.

As compared to other workshop 1 this workshop is quite different in flavor as this is a new concept all together. This is very interesting concept where you can fish lots of data sharing opportunity with proper marketing strategies for your data in data marketplace.
You can do it in phases, but my recommendation is to do it in a single stretch or two so that you don’t have to recall what you did last time.
