They also want to use predictive analytics to learn earlier when a shipment will be delayed.Existing Technical Environment -Flowlogistic architecture resides in a single data center:✑ Databases- 8 physical servers in 2 clusters- SQL Server “” user data, inventory, static data- 3 physical servers- Cassandra “” metadata, tracking messages10 Kafka servers “” tracking message aggregation and batch insert✑ Application servers “” customer front end, middleware for order/customs- 60 virtual machines across 20 physical servers- Tomcat “” Java services- Nginx “” static content- Batch servers✑ Storage appliances- iSCSI for virtual machine (VM) hosts- Fibre Channel storage area network (FC SAN) “” SQL server storageNetwork-attached storage (NAS) image storage, logs, backups✑ 10 Apache Hadoop /Spark servers- Core Data Lake- Data analysis workloads✑ 20 miscellaneous servers- Jenkins, monitoring, bastion hosts,Business Requirements -Build a reliable and reproducible environment with scaled panty of production.✑ Aggregate data in a centralized Data Lake for analysis✑ Use historical data to perform predictive analytics on future shipments✑ Accurately track every shipment worldwide using proprietary technology✑ Improve business agility and speed of innovation through rapid provisioning of new resources✑ Analyze and optimize architecture for performance in the cloud✑ Migrate fully to the cloud if all other requirements are metTechnical Requirements -✑ Handle both streaming and batch data✑ Migrate existing Hadoop workloads✑ Ensure architecture is scalable and elastic to meet the changing demands of the company.✑ Use managed services whenever possible✑ Encrypt data flight and at restConnect a VPN between the production data center and cloud environmentSEO Statement -We have grown so quickly that our inability to upgrade our infrastructure is really hampering further growth and efficiency. We are efficient at moving shipments around the world, but we are inefficient at moving data around.We need to organize our information so we can more easily understand where our customers are and what they are shipping.CTO Statement -IT has never been a priority for us, so as our data has grown, we have not invested enough in our technology. I have a good staff to manage IT, but they are so busy managing our infrastructure that I cannot get them to do the things that really matter, such as organizing our data, building the analytics, and figuring out how to implement the CFO’ s tracking technology.CFO Statement -Part of our competitive advantage is that we penalize ourselves for late shipments and deliveries. Knowing where out shipments are at all times has a direct correlation to our bottom line and profitability. Additionally, I don’t want to commit capital to building out a server environment.Flowlogistic’s management has determined that the current Apache Kafka servers cannot handle the data volume for their real-time inventory tracking system.You need to build a new system on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that will feed the proprietary tracking software. The system must be able to ingest data from a variety of global sources, process and query in real-time, and store the data reliably. Which combination of GCP products should you choose?A. Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Dataflow, and Cloud StorageB. Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Dataflow, and Local SSDC. Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, and Cloud StorageD.
