Building Google Cloud Platform Solutions

How to do it...

To use the standard (Cloud Pub/Sub to Cloud Storage text) Dataflow template, we'll break the setup into four steps:

1. Creation of the Pub/Sub topic and subscription
2. Creating the Dataflow pipeline
3. Sending test temperature data to the Pub/Sub topic
4. Viewing the processed data and the stored data on Google Storage

Let's look into these steps in detail:

1. First, let's create a Pub/Sub topic to receive the IoT sensor's temperate data:

$ gcloud pubsub topics create tempSensorTopic

2. Next, we'll create a subscription that can read data off the topic:

$ gcloud pubsub subscriptions create readTempSubscptn --topic tempSensorTopic

3. On the GCP Console, you can view the created Pub/Sub topic and subscription:

4. The next stage is the creation ...
