Learners explore decoupled architectures using Cloud Pub/Sub, evaluating asynchronous message brokers and event driven distribution. Cloud Dataflow is introduced as the primary paradigm for unified batch and streaming pipelines, built on Apache Beam. Students also learn to migrate legacy Spark and Hadoop workloads onto managed Cloud Dataproc clusters. Stream processing challenges such as sliding windows, late arriving logs, and enrichment architectures are studied in detail.

Practical Labs:

Design asynchronous communication channels in Cloud Pub/Sub, write Apache Beam transformations executed on Cloud Dataflow, manage scalable Spark/Hadoop clusters on Cloud Dataproc, and implement stateful logic to resolve streaming skew errors.

Case Studies:

Streaming video operators consuming telemetry metrics globally via Cloud Dataflow; credit rating agencies running distributed batch calculations with Dataproc; utility providers capturing smart grid sensor patterns via streaming pipelines.

â—Ź Month 3

Exam Coverage: 25–30%

Data Governance, Security & Monitoring

This month emphasizes governance and compliance. Learners study workflow orchestration using Cloud Composer (Apache Airflow), building automated DAGs for multi stage ETL pipelines. Platforms like Cloud Dataplex and Data Fusion are introduced for metadata enforcement and visual transformation routines. Security configurations such as Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), IAM policies, and audit logs are explored. Students learn to enforce compliance across regulated industries while balancing cost and performance.

Practical Labs:

Write DAG workflows in Cloud Composer, deploy sensitive data masking profiles with Cloud DLP, configure IAM roles and encryption rules, and debug pipeline bottlenecks.
