Flowlogistic Case Study Company Overview

Flowlogistic is a leading logistics and supply chain provider. They help businesses throughout the world manage their resources and transport them to their final destination. The company has grown rapidly, expanding their offerings to include rail, truck,aircraft, and oceanic shipping.

Company Background

The company started as a regional trucking company, and then expanded into other logistics market. Because they have not updated their infrastructure, managing and tracking orders and shipments has become a bottleneck. To improve operations, Flowlogistic developed proprietary technology for tracking shipments in real time at the parcel level. However, they are unable todeploy it because their technology stack, based on Apache Kafka, cannot support the processing volume. In addition, Flowlogisticwants to

further analyze their orders and shipments to determine how best to deploy their resources. Solution Concept

Flowlogistic wants to implement two concepts using the cloud:

Use their proprietary technology in a real-time inventory-tracking system that indicates the location of their loads

Perform analytics on all their orders and shipment logs, which contain both structured and unstructured data, to determine how best to deploy resources, which markets to expand info. They also want to use predictive analytics to learn earlier when ashipment will be delayed.

Existing Technical Environment

Flowlogistic architecture resides in a single data center:

Databases

8 physical servers in 2 clusters

- SQL Server ?user data, inventory, static data 3 physical servers

- Cassandra ?metadata, tracking messages

10 Kafka servers ?tracking message aggregation and batch insert

Application servers ?customer front end, middleware for order/customs 60 virtual machines across 20 physical servers

- Tomcat ?Java services

- Nginx ?static content

- Batch servers Storage appliances

- iSCSI for virtual machine (VM) hosts

- Fibre Channel storage area network (FC SAN) ?SQL server storage

- Network-attached storage (NAS) image storage, logs, backups 10 Apache Hadoop /Spark servers

- Core Data Lake

- Data analysis workloads 20 miscellaneousservers

- Jenkins, monitoring, bastion hosts,

Business Requirements

Build a reliable and reproducible environment with scaled panty of production. Aggregate data in acentralized Data Lake for analysis

Use historical data to perform predictive analytics on future shipments Accurately track everyshipment worldwide using proprietary technology

Improve business agility and speed of innovation through rapid provisioning of new resources Analyze and optimizearchitecture for performance in the cloud

Migrate fully to the cloud if all other requirements are met

Technical Requirements

Handle both streaming and batch data Migrate existingHadoop workloads

Ensure architecture is scalable and elastic to meet the changing demands of the company. Use managed serviceswhenever possible

Encrypt data flight and at rest

Connect a VPN between the production data center and cloud environment SEO Statement

We have grown so quickly that our inability to upgrade our infrastructure is really hampering further growth and efficiency. Weare efficient at moving shipments around the world, but we are inefficient at moving data around.

We need to organize our information so we can more easily understand where our customers are and what they are shipping.

CTO Statement

IT has never been a priority for us, so as our data has grown, we have not invested enough in our technology. I have a good staff to manage IT, but they are so busy managing our infrastructure that I cannot get them to do the things that really matter, such as organizing our data, building the analytics, and figuring out how to implement the CFO' s tracking technology.

CFO Statement

Part of our competitive advantage is that we penalize ourselves for late shipments and deliveries. Knowing where out shipmentsare at all times has a direct correlation to our bottom line and profitability. Additionally, I don't want to commit capital to buildingout a server environment.

Flowlogistic wants to use Google BigQuery as their primary analysis system, but they still have Apache Hadoop and Sparkworkloads that they cannot move to BigQuery. Flowlogistic does not know how to store the data that is common to bothworkloads. What should they do?

A. Store the common data in BigQuery as partitioned tables.

CTO Statement

CFO Statement

Flowlogistic is rolling out their real-time inventory tracking system. The tracking devices will all send package- tracking messages, which will now go to a single Google Cloud Pub/Sub topic instead of the Apache Kafka cluster. A subscriberapplication will then process the messages for real-time reporting and

store them in Google BigQuery for historical analysis. You want to ensure the package data can be analyzed over time.

Which approach should you take?

A. Attach the timestamp on each message in the Cloud Pub/Sub subscriber application as they are received.

B. Attach the timestamp and Package ID on the outbound message from each publisher device as they are sent to ClodPub/Sub.

C. Use the NOW () function in BigQuery to record the event's time.

D. Use the automatically generated timestamp from Cloud Pub/Sub to order the data.

MJTelco Case Study Company Overview

MJTelco is a startup that plans to build networks in rapidly growing, underserved markets around the world. The company has patents for innovative optical communications hardware. Based on these patents, they can create many reliable, high-speedbackbone links with inexpensive hardware.

Company Background

Founded by experienced telecom executives, MJTelco uses technologies originally developed to overcome communicationschallenges in space. Fundamental to their operation, they need to create a distributed data infrastructure that drives real-timeanalysis and incorporates machine learning to continuously optimize their topologies. Because their hardware is inexpensive, they plan to overdeploy the network allowing them to account for the impact of dynamic regional politics on location availability and cost. Their management and operations teams are situated all around the globe creating many-to-many relationship between data consumers and provides in their system. After careful consideration, they decided public cloud is the perfectenvironment to support their needs.

Solution Concept

MJTelco is running a successful proof-of-concept (PoC) project in its labs. They have two primary needs: Scale and harden theirPoC to support significantly more data flows generated when they ramp to more

than 50,000 installations.

Refine their machine-learning cycles to verify and improve the dynamic models they use to control topology

definition.

MJTelco will also use three separate operating environments ?development/test, staging, and production ? to meet the needs ofrunning experiments, deploying new features, and serving production customers.

Business Requirements

Scale up their production environment with minimal cost, instantiating resources when and where needed in an unpredictable,distributed telecom user community.

Ensure security of their proprietary data to protect their leading-edge machine learning and analysis. Provide reliable andtimely access to data for analysis from distributed research workers

Maintain isolated environments that support rapid iteration of their machine-learning models without affecting their customers.

Technical Requirements

Ensure secure and efficient transport and storage of telemetry data

Rapidly scale instances to support between 10,000 and 100,000 data providers with multiple flows each.

Allow analysis and presentation against data tables tracking up to 2 years of data storing approximately

100m records/day

Support rapid iteration of monitoring infrastructure focused on awareness of data pipeline problems both in telemetry flows and inproduction learning cycles.

CEO Statement

Our business model relies on our patents, analytics and dynamic machine learning. Our inexpensive hardware is organizedto be highly reliable, which gives us cost advantages. We need to quickly stabilize our large distributed data pipelines to meetour reliability and capacity commitments.

CTO Statement

Our public cloud services must operate as advertised. We need resources that scale and keep our data secure. We also needenvironments in which our data scientists can carefully study and quickly adapt our models. Because we rely on automation to process our data, we also need our development and test environments to work as we iterate.

CFO Statement

The project is too large for us to maintain the hardware and software required for the data and analysis. Also, we cannot afford to staff an operations team to monitor so many data feeds, so we will rely on automation and infrastructure. Google Cloud'smachine learning will allow our quantitative researchers to work on our high- value problems instead of problems with our datapipelines.

MJTelco's Google Cloud Dataflow pipeline is now ready to start receiving data from the 50,000 installations. You want to allow Cloud Dataflow to scale its compute power up as required. Which Cloud Dataflow pipeline configuration setting should youupdate?

A. The zone

B. The number of workers

C. The disk size per worker

D. The maximum number of workers

CFO Statement

You need to compose visualizations for operations teams with the following requirements:

The report must include telemetry data from all 50,000 installations for the most resent 6 weeks (sampling

once every minute).

The report must not be more than 3 hours delayed from live data. The actionable reportshould only show suboptimal links.

Most suboptimal links should be sorted to the top.

Suboptimal links can be grouped and filtered by regional geography. User response time toload the report must be <5 seconds.

Which approach meets the requirements?

A. Load the data into Google Sheets, use formulas to calculate a metric, and use filters/sorting to show only suboptimallinks in a table.

B. Load the data into Google BigQuery tables, write Google Apps Script that queries the data, calculates the metric, andshows only suboptimal rows in a table in Google Sheets.

C. Load the data into Google Cloud Datastore tables, write a Google App Engine Application that queries all rows, applies a function to derive the metric, and then renders results in a table using the Google charts and visualization API.

D. Load the data into Google BigQuery tables, write a Google Data Studio 360 report that connects to your data, calculates ametric, and then uses a filter expression to show only suboptimal rows in a table.
