Dataproc

Google Cloud's managed Spark and Hadoop service, with fast cluster creation, autoscaling and a serverless Spark option.

Definition

Dataproc is the lift-and-shift target for on-premises Hadoop and Spark. Best practice stores data in Cloud Storage instead of HDFS so clusters can be ephemeral.

Exam tip

Use ephemeral, job-scoped Dataproc clusters with data in Cloud Storage to cut cost.
