Cloud Dataproc Workflow Animation

Cloud Dataproc Workflow Template allows users to automate Dataproc jobs through a YAML file defining a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that can create/select clusters, submit jobs, and delete clusters. It is submitted via gcloud or REST but not the Console. Cloud Composer is an Apache Airflow-based workflow orchestration service that can automate Dataproc jobs via Python DAG files defining scheduling and dependencies between extensible operators for various services, making it versatile for coordinating multi-step workflows across services.

Cloud Dataproc Workflow Automation  

 
 

 
The Cloud Dataproc Workflow Template is a YAML file that is processed through a Directed Acyclic 
Graph (DAG). It can create a new cluster, select from an existing cluster, submit jobs, hold jobs for 
submission until dependencies can complete, and it can delete a cluster when the job is done. 
 
It is currently available through the gcloud command and the REST API, but not through Console. 
 
The Workflow Template becomes active when it is instantiated into the DAG. The Template can be 
submitted multiple times with different parameter values. You can also write a template inline in the 
gcloud command, and you can list workflows and workflow metadata to help diagnose issues. 
 
The Cloud Dataproc Workflow Template is a great tool if you have Dataproc jobs to run -- that is if the 
workflow is confined to Cloud Dataproc. But what if you need to coordinate and automate larger and 
more complex workflows that involve running jobs on other services and channeling data between 
them? 
 
 
Cloud Composer is a workflow orchestration service based on Apache Airflow. 
 
Cloud Composer can be used to automate Cloud Dataproc jobs and to control clusters. 
 
The DAG in Cloud Composer is defined in a Python file. There can be multiple DAGs. They are contained 
in a DAG folder. The DAG file is concerned with providing the instructions necessary to complete each 
step in a workflow. 
 
Each Python file creates a DAG object. Next, it provides parameters that define the scheduling interval. 
After that are the operations to be performed. And finally, dependencies that determine which 
operations must complete before others can begin. 
 
The operators are extensible. Many services offer APIs that can be integrated into the Python operators 
in the DAG. This makes Cloud Composer very versatile. It can be used to orchestrate a data processing 
pipeline and to orchestrate a computational workflow. And it can connect these together to create rich 
dynamic solutions.
