    This question is part of a case study — click to read the full scenario(Case 11)

    CASE STUDY: AeroMech
    Overview: Aviation manufacturer, 5000 employees, $2B revenue. 100 engines, 10k sensors/engine, 1GB data/flight. On-prem Hadoop.
    Business Req: Predictive maintenance, secure data sharing with airlines, monetize data.
    Execs: CEO wants new revenue; CFO demands ML ROI; CTO says on-prem storage unfeasible.
    Tech Req: High-throughput ingestion, PB-scale storage, train ML on historical data, deploy ML to edge (aircraft).
    Constraints: Intermittent low-bandwidth flight connectivity, aviation data compliance, data scientists use Python/Jupyter.

    QUESTION:
    How should you design the ingestion pipeline to handle the intermittent connectivity and high data volume from the aircraft engines?

    CASE STUDY: AeroMech
    Overview: Aviation manufacturer, 5000 employees, $2B revenue. 100 engines, 10k sensors/engine, 1GB data/flight. On-prem Hadoop.
    Business Req: Predictive maintenance, secure data sharing with airlines, monetize data.
    Execs: CEO wants new revenue; CFO demands ML ROI; CTO says on-prem storage unfeasible.
    Tech Req: High-throughput ingestion, PB-scale storage, train ML on historical data, deploy ML to edge (aircraft).
    Constraints: Intermittent low-bandwidth flight connectivity, aviation data compliance, data scientists use Python/Jupyter.

    QUESTION:
    Which GCP service should you recommend for the data scientists to explore data and train models, given their preference for Python and Jupyter?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Compute Engine instances with SSH access.

    B.

    Vertex AI Workbench.

    C.

    Cloud Run.

    D.

    Dataproc.

    How to approach this question

    Match the user persona (data scientists) and preferred tools (Python/Jupyter) to the corresponding GCP managed service.

    Full Answer

    B.Vertex AI Workbench.✓ Correct
    Vertex AI Workbench is Google Cloud's managed notebook service. It provides data scientists with the Jupyter/Python environment they are familiar with, while integrating seamlessly with GCP data sources and compute (GPUs/TPUs).

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Dataproc (D) because they currently use Hadoop, missing the specific requirement for Jupyter/Python ML training.
