Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer ACE — Topic 1 Question 213

Question

You are building a data lake on Google Cloud for your Internet of Things (IoT) application. The IoT application has millions of sensors that are constantly streaming structured and unstructured data to your backend in the cloud. You want to build a highly available and resilient architecture based on Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Stream data to Pub/Sub, and use Dataflow to send data to Cloud Storage. Cloud Storage provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. Dataflow runs serverless Apache Beam pipelines for stream and batch data processing with autoscaling. Pub/Sub is a serverless, global messaging service that decouples services and ingests high-volume event streams. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
