Data journey in a Data Fabric architecture
The best way to understand of how a Data Fabric architecture handles data is to look at it from a journey standpoint. We will follow the same approach as we did in explaining the Data Governance layer in Chapter 7. Technical capabilities within a Data Fabric architecture enable the development of data and its delivery. DataOps principles act as a medium in the deployment of data within the Data Integration and Self-Service layers of a Data Fabric architecture. DataOps focuses on efficiencies and quality control in the development, deployment, and delivery of data.
Data travels through five logical phases in a data life cycle across the Data Fabric architecture:
- Create
- Ingest
- Integrate
- Consume
- Archive and destroy
DataOps has its own cycle with specific activities that guide the development of data from the create to the consume phase. The stages in DataOps consist of development, orchestration, testing, deployment...
