Advanced 10 Steps 7h 5m 49 Credits
This advanced-level quest is unique amongst the other Qwiklabs offerings. The labs have been curated to give IT professionals hands-on practice with topics and services that appear in the Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer Certification. From Big Query, to Dataproc, to Tensorflow, this quest is composed of specific labs that will put your GCP data engineering knowledge to the test. Be aware that while practice with these labs will increase your skills and abilities, you will need other preparation too. The exam is quite challenging and external studying, experience, and/or background in cloud data engineering is recommended.
Prerequisites
This Quest requires proficiency with GCP Services, particularly those relating to working with large datasets. It is recommended that the student have at least earned a Badge by completing the hands-on labs in the Baseline: Data, ML, and AI and/or the GCP Essentials Quests before beginning. Additional lab experience with the Scientific Data Processing and the Machine Learning APIs Quests will be useful.Quest Outline
Weather Data in BigQuery
In this lab you analyze historical weather observations using BigQuery and use weather data in conjunction with other datasets. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.
Analyzing Natality Data Using Datalab and BigQuery
In this lab you analyze a large (137 million rows) natality dataset using Google BigQuery and Cloud Datalab. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.
Predicting Baby Weight with TensorFlow on Cloud ML Engine
In this lab you train, evaluate, and deploy a machine learning model to predict a baby’s weight. You then send requests to the model to make online predictions. This lab is part of a series of labs on processing scientific data.
Bigtable: Qwik Start - Hbase Shell
This hands-on lab will show you how to use the HBase shell to connect to a Cloud Bigtable instance. Watch the short video Bigtable: Qwik Start - Qwiklabs Preview.
Run a Big Data Text Processing Pipeline in Cloud Dataflow
In this lab you will use Google Cloud Dataflow to create a Maven project with the Cloud Dataflow SDK, and run a distributed word count pipeline using the Google Cloud Platform Console.
Dataproc: Qwik Start - Console
This lab shows you how to create a Google Cloud Dataproc cluster, run a simple Apache Spark job in the cluster, then modify the number of workers in the cluster, all from the gcloud Command Line. Watch these short videos, Dataproc: Qwik Start - Qwiklabs Preview and Run Spark and Hadoop Faster with Cloud Dataproc.
Building an IoT Analytics Pipeline on Google Cloud Platform
This lab shows you how to connect and manage devices using Cloud IoT Core; ingest the steam of information using Cloud Pub/Sub; process the IoT data using Cloud Dataflow; use BigQuery to analyze the IoT data.
Working with Google Cloud Dataprep
Cloud Dataprep is Google's self-service data preparation tool. In this lab, you will learn how to use Cloud Dataprep to clean and enrich multiple datasets using a mock use case scenario of customer info and purchase history.
Classify Text into Categories with the Natural Language API
In this lab you’ll learn how to classify text into categories using the Natural Language API
Predict Visitor Purchases with a Classification Model in BQML
In this lab you will use a newly available ecommerce dataset to run some typical queries that businesses would want to know about their customers’ purchasing habits.
Predict Taxi Fare with a BigQuery ML Forecasting Model
In this lab you will explore millions of New York City yellow taxi cab trips available in a BigQuery Public Dataset, create a ML model inside of BigQuery to predict the fare, and evaluate the performance of your model to make predictions.
