Correct answer: Cloud Pub/Sub helps capture data and rapidly pass massive numbers of messages securely between other Google Cloud Platform big data tools and other software applications..
Why this is the answer
Cloud Pub/Sub provides asynchronous messaging between independent systems and Google Cloud services. It uses topics and subscriptions to pass messages from producers to consumers at scale. This decouples data producers from downstream processing tools so each system can operate independently. Its business value is reliable, high-throughput message delivery for event-driven and big data architectures.
