This Data Analytics course consists of a series of advanced-level labs designed to validate your proficiency in using Google Cloud services. Each lab presents a set of the required tasks that you must complete with minimal assistance. The labs in this course have replaced the previous L300 Data Analytics Challenge Lab. If you have already completed the Challenge Lab as part of your L300 accreditation requirement, it will be carried over and count towards your L300 status. You must score 80% or higher for each lab to complete this course, and fulfill your CEPF L300 Data Analytics requirement. For technical issues with a Challenge Lab, please raise a Buganizer ticket using this CEPF Buganizer template: go/cepfl300labsupport

This course is part 1 of a 3-course series on Serverless Data Processing with Dataflow. In this first course, we start with a refresher of what Apache Beam is and its relationship with Dataflow. Next, we talk about the Apache Beam vision and the benefits of the Beam Portability framework. The Beam Portability framework achieves the vision that a developer can use their favorite programming language with their preferred execution backend. We then show you how Dataflow allows you to separate compute and storage while saving money, and how identity, access, and management tools interact with your Dataflow pipelines. Lastly, we look at how to implement the right security model for your use case on Dataflow.
