Running Distributed Computing Jobs with GCP GCS Data

GCP GCS

A data lake is a centralized repository that allows you to store all your structured and unstructured data at any scale. You can store your data as-is, without having to first structure the data, and run different types of analytics. Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is a popular object storage service that can be used as a data lake. It provides a simple and cost-effective way to store, manage, and analyze large amounts of data. GCS is designed for very high durability and availability.

Distributed Computing

Distributed computing technology refers to a system where multiple computers work together to solve a problem. It allows for parallel processing of data across multiple machines, which can lead to faster processing times. Distributed computing technology has become increasingly popular due to the rise of big data. It allows for the processing of large amounts of data that would be too large for a single machine to handle. Some examples of distributed computing technologies include Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink.

With the growing popularity of both GCP GCS for data storage and distributed computing for compute workloads, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to run distributed computing jobs with GCP GCS data. Kaspian offers a native connector for this operation. Just register your GCP GCS datastore and link your Distributed Computing job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to crunch through any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
