What is the main purpose of Cloud Composer?

The main purpose of Cloud Composer is to orchestrate workflows and data pipelines. It is built on Apache Airflow, which is an open-source platform designed specifically for workflow automation and orchestration. Cloud Composer allows users to define, schedule, and monitor complex workflows that involve multiple tasks, enabling businesses to automate data processing tasks and integrate various Google Cloud and external services effortlessly.

With Cloud Composer, users can construct directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), which represent workflows with a series of tasks that must be completed in a specific order. This capability is essential for scenarios where you require coordination between different data processing operations, API calls, and other cloud services, ensuring that tasks are executed in a streamlined manner.

The other options do not align with the primary functionality of Cloud Composer. For instance, hosting static websites is unrelated and instead connects to services like Google Cloud Storage for serving static content. Data storage solutions encompass products like Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and others designed for storing and retrieving data. Lastly, managing user accounts and permissions pertains more to identity and access management services rather than workflow orchestration, which is the focus of Cloud Composer.
