Building a Data Mesh Governance Framework Using Microsoft Azure Services
Distributed data and federated governance are key concepts of the data mesh. Data is dispersed across various domains or teams, allowing for scalability and agility. Federated governance ensures that each domain retains autonomy over its data while adhering to common principles and standards, driving collaboration and trust among the data product owners.
In the previous chapters, we looked at how to create a distributed network of data landing zones managed by a central data management zone. We saw how the data landing zone can be designed and built. As the mesh grows and more landing zones get added, the complexity of managing and maintaining these landing zones can grow exponentially. Having a solid, well-planned governance framework from the beginning will drastically reduce this management effort.
In this chapter, we will dive deeper into the governing aspects of the data mesh. We will cover both governance...
