Serverless Data Processing with Dataflow - Writing an ETL Pipeline using Apache Beam and Cloud Dataflow (Python)

In this lab, you a) build a batch ETL pipeline in Apache Beam, which takes raw data from Google Cloud Storage and writes it to Google BigQuery b) run the Apache Beam pipeline on Cloud Dataflow and c) parameterize the execution of the pipeline.
