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?

A. Stream data to Pub/Sub, and use Dataflow to send data to Cloud Storage.
B. Stream data to Pub/Sub, and use Storage Transfer Service to send data to BigQuery.
C. Stream data to Dataflow, and use Dataprep by Trifacta to send data to Bigtable.

Selected Answer: A

A. Streaming data to Pub/Sub allows you to decouple the ingestion of data from the processing and storage, providing a scalable and reliable message queue that can handle the high volume of data coming from millions of sensors. Using Dataflow to consume data from Pub/Sub and send it to Cloud Storage allows for real-time data processing and storage. Dataflow is a fully managed service for processing data in real-time or batch mode, making it an ideal choice for handling the constant stream of data from IoT sensors. Storing data in Cloud Storage offers high durability and availability, providing a robust foundation for building a data lake. Cloud Storage is a scalable object storage service that can handle large volumes of structured and unstructured data, making it well-suited for the IoT application's data requirements.

Selected Answer: A

Pub/Sub , Dataflow and BigTable would have been idle solution, but since Cloud Storage is the only option with that combo, I will go with A.

Accordingly to: https://cloud.google.com/learn/what-is-a-data-lake "Related products and services Google Cloud offers a suite of autoscaling services that enable you to build a data lake that integrates with your existing applications, skills, and IT investments. This includes Dataflow and Cloud Data Fusion for data ingestion, [[[Cloud Storage]]] for storage, and Dataproc and BigQuery for data and analytics processing. " Google topics only mentions Cloud Storage for such system, so A IS CORRECT.
