Question 7

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

A client you are talking with wants to touch on a point you

briefly mentioned. The expression builder, context sensitive
assistance, and embedded help assist users to configure
projects, but how do these components help users learn SQL?

By using embedded help and auto fill, users can quickly

adapt to writing in SQL. The tooling gradually teaches
them optimized queries, and basic functions.

As users interact with the user interface it shows them 

resulting SQL expressions, allowing them to learn as
they use the tooling.

There is a wizard that guides the user through basic SQL

syntax and demonstrates how to use SQL in the context of
the user's own events.

Because SQL is a straightforward language, and there are

many tutorials out there, context sensitive assist can
direct users to appropriate tutorials on the web.

Question 20

Correct

Points out of 1.00

A client asks you, " When using the drag and drop interface in
Event Processing, what happens in the background to connect
and process my events?"

Event processing analyzes the graph nodes and

connectors. Using Node Red, it transfers the graphical
representation into pulsar queries which can then be
returned as output to the user.

Event processing in tandem with the local Kubernetes

engines creates container pods in the same formation as
the user interface and then runs logic as code while
inputting the events.

Event processing deploys the workload onto an open- 

source event processing engine called Apache Flink. It
then constructs Flink SQL jobs that are run and
returned as output.

Event processing deploys the workload onto an open-

source event processing engine called Apache Kafka. It
then constructs Kafka SQL jobs that are run and returned
as output.

Question 24

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

During a discussion with a client, they mentioned that they are

considering Confluent for their event-driven solution. How
should you respond to the client?

Confluent is fine if you are looking to use event-driven 

architecture on a project-to-project basis, but they
become very expensive when you are looking to deploy
an enterprise wide solution.

Confluent offers a solution that focuses on enterprise

architecture creating a mesh that acts like the central
transport for events. The main issue is their solution is
very IT centric.

Confluent is great on a project-to-project basis and it even

has some management features that help users scale the
solution to multiple projects. However, they lack true
enterprise grade support.

Confluent does a lot of great things. They offer a solution

that caters to users in line of business or development by
offering tooling and interfaces that are accessible by
anyone in the business.
