How should you handle the intermittent connectivity of vehicles to ensure no telemetry data is lost when they reconnect?
Answer options:
Increase the RAM on the vehicles to store data locally for months.
Configure Pub/Sub message retention to hold messages until the processing pipeline acknowledges them.
Use Cloud SQL to buffer incoming connections.
Require vehicles to use Dedicated Interconnect.
