How does Cloud IoT help organizations unlock business insights in real time from data across globally dispersed devices?

  • It has a deep interoperability with business intelligence (BI) tools, allowing it to connect multiple devices around the globe through the tools themselves.
  • It connects globally distributed industrial devices into a single network that can be managed efficiently and serves as a new data source for an organization’s analytic systems to support improved operational efficiency.
  • It uses the Spark Machine Learning Libraries (MLlib) to run classification algorithms on very large datasets, relying on cloud-based machines where Spark can be installed and customized.
  • It is fully managed, with downtime-free upgrades and maintenance and seamless scaling, and it provides the benefits of operating on almost NoOps.
Answer
  • It connects globally distributed industrial devices into a single network that can be managed efficiently and serves as a new data source for an organization’s analytic systems to support improved operational efficiency.

  • Table with Data > Database > Query
  • Query > Database > Table with Data
Answer
  • Query > Database > Table with Data

Which of these statements best expresses what you can do with Cloud Dataflow?

  • “I need access to near real-time reports, even if the data is speculative or sampled.”
  • “I wish I could run queries to organize my batch data.”
  • “I need to know what customers are doing right now, and I need to find out using my existing Hadoop tools.”
  • “I need to transfer my data from my on-premises solutions to the cloud
Answer
  • “I need access to near real-time reports, even if the data is speculative or sampled.”

The Cloud Dataproc approach allows organizations to use Hadoop/Spark/Hive/Pig when needed. It takes on average only 90 seconds between the moment resources are requested and a job can be submitted. What makes this possible?

  • The separation of storage and compute.
  • The use of queries and containers.
  • The configuration of jobs and workflows.
  • The absence of management and maintenance.
Answer
  • The separation of storage and compute.

What dataset type is vital to machine learning?

  • Market datasets
  • QA datasets
  • Training datasets
  • Predictive datasets
Answer
  • Training datasets

Machine learning is a branch of computer science that:

  • Is a tool for developing and executing a wide range of data processing patterns on very large datasets.
  • Is how you retrieve information from a database.
  • Is focused on enabling computers to recognize patterns in data—without humans telling the computer how to recognize the patterns.
  • Is a service to help capture data and rapidly pass massive numbers of messages between other big data tools.
Answer
  • Is focused on enabling computers to recognize patterns in data—without humans telling the computer how to recognize the patterns.
