Data Source Overview
This section provides an overview of Data Source Operations (DS Operations) in DataDios. DS Operations enable users to interact with connected data sources, manage metadata, and perform operations on underlying data in a secure and organized manner.
Key Components
Connectivity Layer
DataDios provides a unified interface to connect with multiple data systems such as databases, cloud storage, files, and APIs. Through DS Operations, users can explore, validate, and interact with data sources without leaving the platform.
Metadata Exploration
DS Operations allow users to browse and inspect metadata for schemas, tables, views, and other objects. This provides visibility into the structure and organization of data across connected systems.
Data Interaction
Users can perform read-level interactions on data sources. These interactions include exploring sample data, validating connections, and monitoring resource availability.
Security & Governance
All DS Operations are managed with secure access controls. Credentials can be stored in secret managers, and activities are logged to ensure compliance and governance.
