If any compute resources for a virtual warehouse fail to provision during startup, Snowflake will attempt to restart those failed resources. The system is designed to automatically handle transient issues that might occur during the provisioning of compute resources. By restarting the failed resources, Snowflake aims to ensure that the virtual warehouse has the necessary compute capacity to handle the user's workloads without manual intervention.References: Snowflake Documentation on Virtual Warehouses
