Question

You currently have a single on-premises Kafka cluster in a data center in the us-east region that is responsible for ingesting messages from IoT devices globally. Because large parts of globe have poor internet connectivity, messages sometimes batch at the edge, come in all at once, and cause a spike in load on your Kafka cluster. This is becoming difficult to manage and prohibitively expensive. What is the Google-recommended cloud native architecture for this scenario?

Options

  • AEdge TPUs as sensor devices for storing and transmitting the messages.
  • BCloud Dataflow connected to the Kafka cluster to scale the processing of incoming messages.
  • CAn IoT gateway connected to Cloud Pub/Sub, with Cloud Dataflow to read and process the messages from Cloud Pub/Sub.
  • DA Kafka cluster virtualized on Compute Engine in us-east with Cloud Load Balancing to connect to the devices around the world.
