Creating Microsoft Purview implementation involves visualizing the architecture and components involved in implementing Purview within an organization's data landscape. Here's a textual representation of a high-level implementation plan for Microsoft Purview:
Structured Data (e.g., SQL databases, Data Warehouses)
Unstructured Data (e.g. files, documents, images)
Semi-structured Data (e.g. JSON, XML)
- Azure Services: Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2: Centralized storage for all types of dataAzure SQL Database: Hosting metadata repository. Azure Purview Service: The main service for data governance, including metadata management, data cataloging, and data lineage. Azure Active Directory: Manages user authentication and access control. Azure Key Vault: Secure storage of cryptographic keys and secrets.
- Purview Components: Data Catalog: Catalogs and indexes metadata from various data sources. Data Map: Provides a holistic view of data across the organization, including lineage and relationships. Data Classification: Identifies and classifies sensitive data using built-in or custom classifiers. Data Insights: Utilizes AI and machine learning to provide insights and recommendations for data governance. Data Governance Dashboard: Offers a centralized dashboard for monitoring and managing data governance activities.
- Integration Points: APIs and SDKs: Allows integration with existing data management tools and custom applications.Azure Data Services: Integration with other Azure data services such as Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, etc. Third-party Connectors: Connects to third-party data sources and tools for seamless metadata ingestion and management.
- Data Governance Policies: Define and enforce data governance policies across the organization, including data classification, access control, and data retention policies.
- Metadata Management: Capture, store, and manage metadata from various data sources, providing a comprehensive view of the organization's data assets.
- Data Lineage: Track the flow of data across various systems and processes, providing visibility into data movement and transformations.
This representation can serve as a guide for creating an implementation plan, representing the connections and interactions between different components and services within the Microsoft Purview ecosystem.
