Q5

What is Cloud Dataproc, and how does it process big data workloads efficiently?

💬Answer

Cloud Dataproc is a fully managed service for running Apache Spark, Hadoop, Presto, and Flink clusters on GCP.

  • Efficiency: Dataproc allows you to spin up cluster nodes in less than 90 seconds (compared to 10+ minutes on-premises).
  • Cost Savings: Supports preemptible/spot VMs for worker nodes and allows setting up ephemeral clusters that spin up to run a job, output results to GCS, and immediately tear themselves down.
