...
CPU_Utilization_During_Epoch: 99% (all cores)
GPU_0_Utilization_During_Epoch: 8%
GPU_1_Utilization_During_Epoch: 7%
...

An architect is designing a data pipeline for a predictive AI model that will forecast retail sales.
The pipeline must be robust, version-controlled, and efficient.
The proposed data flow is as follows:
1. Ingest: Raw sales data is copied daily from multiple point-of-sale (POS) systems to a central staging area on an on-premises ONTAP cluster.
