Snowflake - Build and Architect Data Pipelines Using AWS - Lab – Set Up Encryption Keys for Kafka-Snowflake Connectivity

The video tutorial explains how to use OpenSSL to generate private and public keys for authentication between a local system running Kafka and Snowflake. It covers the installation of OpenSSL on different operating systems, the process of generating unencrypted keys, and configuring Snowflake with these keys. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of the next steps, which involve setting up a Kafka server in standalone mode.

What is the primary purpose of OpenSSL in the context of Kafka and Snowflake?

• To compress data for faster transmission

• To authenticate the connection between Kafka and Snowflake

• To provide a user interface for managing Kafka

• To encrypt data between Kafka and Snowflake

Which command is used to install OpenSSL on a Linux system?

• openssl install

• install openssl

• apt-get openssl install

• sudo apt-get install openssl

What is the first step in generating a private key using OpenSSL?

• Run the command 'openssl genrsa'

• Create a public key

• Install OpenSSL

• Navigate to the Snowflake directory

What file extension is used for the generated private key?

• .key

• .pem

• .pub

• .rsa

What must be done to the private key before pasting it into the Snowflake configuration?

• Encrypt it using OpenSSL

• Add a delimiter to each line

• Convert it to a .txt file

• Remove all spaces

Where should the public key be set in Snowflake?

• In the network settings

• In the user profile settings

• In the database configuration

• In the RSA public key field

What command is used to verify the public key configuration in Snowflake?

• VERIFY CONFIGURATION

• SHOW PUBLIC KEYS

• DESCRIBE USER

• LIST KEYS
