Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer PDE — Topic 1 Question 330

Question

You are designing a stateful data processing pipeline that reads data from a Cloud Storage bucket and writes transformed data to a BigQuery table. The pipeline must be highly available and resilient to zonal failures within the us-central1 region. You need to configure a Dataflow pipeline ensuring minimal disruption during a zonal outage. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Launch the Dataflow job with the --region=us-central1 parameter. Dataflow runs serverless Apache Beam pipelines for stream and batch data processing with autoscaling. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
