DCOS Data Fabric
Governed operational data & AI
Normalized, contextualized operational data with governed APIs, streams and exports — the trustworthy foundation for analytics, AI/ML and digital twins across the estate.

Outcomes
What this plane guarantees when it is in place.
Data you can trust
Every value carries identity, time and canonical quality, so downstream models reason on reliable inputs.
Governed access
APIs, streams and exports are scoped by authority and residency, not open firehoses.
AI-ready context
Dependencies and events contextualize data so AI/ML and twins see relationships, not just points.
Data model
Normalization
Vendor signal is mapped to the shared model with stable identity, units and quality states.
Contextualization
Values are related to assets, services, paths and events so context travels with data.
Governed APIs
Authority-scoped REST and query APIs with rate control and full audit trail.
Streaming
Real-time streams for events and telemetry with backpressure and delivery guarantees.
Exports
Governed batch exports for warehouses, lakes and reporting under residency policy.
Digital-twin feeds
Structured feeds that keep external digital twins synchronized with operating reality.

Operating contract
How this plane upholds the shared platform contract.
Contract guarantees
- Data carries stable identity, source/receipt time and canonical quality end to end.
- Access authority is declared and enforced per API, stream and export.
- Residency and retention policy govern where operational data lives and how long.
- Every access is logged as evidence supporting assurance and troubleshooting.
Access surfaces
| Surface | Shape | Latency | Governance |
|---|---|---|---|
| REST / query API | Normalized, contextual | Request/response | Authority-scoped + audited |
| Event stream | Lifecycle events | Real-time | Scoped subscriptions |
| Telemetry stream | Quality-aware series | Near real-time | Backpressure-controlled |
| Batch export | Warehouse/lake | Scheduled | Residency-governed |
| Twin feed | Structured model | Continuous | Authority + residency |
Scope & boundaries
What this plane is — and deliberately is not — responsible for.
- Data Fabric governs operational data; it does not become the authoritative system of record for federated domains.
- Access is always authority- and residency-scoped rather than an unrestricted export.
- It provides trustworthy inputs for AI/ML; it does not itself own model training or business logic.
