Professional-Data-Engineer Exam Question 46
You are running a pipeline in Cloud Dataflow that receives messages from a Cloud Pub/Sub topic and writes the results to a BigQuery dataset in the EU. Currently, your pipeline is located in europe-west4 and has a maximum of 3 workers, instance type n1-standard-1. You notice that during peak periods, your pipeline is struggling to process records in a timely fashion, when all 3 workers are at maximum CPU utilization. Which two actions can you take to increase performance of your pipeline? (Choose two.)

You work for a bank. You have a labelled dataset that contains information on already granted loan application and whether these applications have been defaulted. You have been asked to train a model to predict default rates for credit applicants. What should you do?
Professional-Data-Engineer Exam Question 48
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?
Professional-Data-Engineer Exam Question 49
You are designing a pipeline that publishes application events to a Pub/Sub topic. Although message ordering is not important, you need to be able to aggregate events across disjoint hourly intervals before loading the results to BigQuery for analysis. What technology should you use to process and load this data to BigQuery while ensuring that it will scale with large volumes of events?
Professional-Data-Engineer Exam Question 50
A web server sends click events to a Pub/Sub topic as messages. The web server includes an eventTimestamp attribute in the messages, which is the time when the click occurred. You have a Dataflow streaming job that reads from this Pub/Sub topic through a subscription, applies some transformations, and writes the result to another Pub/Sub topic for use by the advertising department. The advertising department needs to receive each message within 30 seconds of the corresponding click occurrence, but they report receiving the messages late. Your Dataflow job's system lag is about 5 seconds, and the data freshness is about 40 seconds. Inspecting a few messages show no more than 1 second lag between their eventTimestamp and publishTime.
