Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 46

Your organization needs to build streaming data pipelines. You don't want to manage the individual servers that do the data processing in the pipelines. Instead, you want a managed service that will automatically scale with the amount of data to be processed.
Which Google Cloud product or feature should your organization choose?

Answer options

• A. Pub/Sub
• B. Dataflow
• C. Data Catalog
• D. Dataprep by Trifacta

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Dataflow because it is a fully managed service that allows for the creation of data processing pipelines that automatically scale according to data volume. Pub/Sub is primarily for message ingestion, Data Catalog is for metadata management, and Dataprep is focused on data preparation, making them unsuitable for the requirement of managed streaming data pipelines.
