You want to automate execution of a multi-step data pipeline running on Google Cloud. The pipeline includes Cloud Dataproc and Cloud Dataflow jobs that have multiple dependencies on each other.

You want to use managed services where possible, and the pipeline will run every day.
Which tool should you use?

  1. cron
  2. Cloud Composer
  3. Cloud Scheduler
  4. Workflow Templates on Cloud Dataproc

Answer(s): B



You are managing a Cloud Dataproc cluster. You need to make a job run faster while minimizing costs, without losing work in progress on your clusters.
What should you do?

  1. Increase the cluster size with more non-preemptible workers.
  2. Increase the cluster size with preemptible worker nodes, and configure them to forcefully decommission.
  3. Increase the cluster size with preemptible worker nodes, and use Cloud Stackdriver to trigger a script to preserve work.
  4. Increase the cluster size with preemptible worker nodes, and configure them to use graceful decommissioning.

Answer(s): D

You work for a shipping company that uses handheld scanners to read shipping labels. Your company has strict data privacy standards that require scanners to only transmit recipients' personally identifiable information (PII) to analytics systems, which violates user privacy rules. You want to quickly build a scalable solution using cloud-native managed services to prevent exposure of PII to the analytics systems.
What should you do?

  1. Create an authorized view in BigQuery to restrict access to tables with sensitive data.
  2. Install a third-party data validation tool on Compute Engine virtual machines to check the incoming data for sensitive information.
  3. Use Stackdriver logging to analyze the data passed through the total pipeline to identify transactions that may contain sensitive information.
  4. Build a Cloud Function that reads the topics and makes a call to the Cloud Data Loss Prevention API. Use the tagging and confidence levels to either pass or quarantine the data in a bucket for review.

Answer(s): D



You have developed three data processing jobs. One executes a Cloud Dataflow pipeline that transforms data uploaded to Cloud Storage and writes results to BigQuery. The second ingests data from on-premises servers and uploads it to Cloud Storage. The third is a Cloud Dataflow pipeline that gets information from third-party data providers and uploads the information to Cloud Storage. You need to be able to schedule and monitor the execution of these three workflows and manually execute them when needed.
What should you do?

  1. Create a Direct Acyclic Graph in Cloud Composer to schedule and monitor the jobs.
  2. Use Stackdriver Monitoring and set up an alert with a Webhook notification to trigger the jobs.
  3. Develop an App Engine application to schedule and request the status of the jobs using GCP API calls.
  4. Set up cron jobs in a Compute Engine instance to schedule and monitor the pipelines using GCP API calls.

Answer(s): D



You have Cloud Functions written in Node.js that pull messages from Cloud Pub/Sub and send the data to BigQuery. You observe that the message processing rate on the Pub/Sub topic is orders of magnitude higher than anticipated, but there is no error logged in Stackdriver Log Viewer.
What are the two most likely causes of this problem? Choose 2 answers.

  1. Publisher throughput quota is too small.
  2. Total outstanding messages exceed the 10-MB maximum.
  3. Error handling in the subscriber code is not handling run-time errors properly.
  4. The subscriber code cannot keep up with the messages.
  5. The subscriber code does not acknowledge the messages that it pulls.

Answer(s): C,D
