VMO2 and Google Cloud: Data Contracts for Scalable AI

🔒 VMO2, with Google Cloud, implemented data contracts as machine-readable agreements to guarantee dataset quality, schema, semantics, and SLOs for individual assets like BigQuery tables and Cloud Storage buckets. Defined in YAML and managed via GitLab, contracts are validated and operationalized by Dataplex Universal Catalog, which provisions Data Quality Scan jobs and profiling. The platform uses Cloud Composer, Pub/Sub, and BigQuery to orchestrate scans, surface results, and provide dashboards for real-time observability.

Dataplex Data Products: Curated Assets for Enterprise

🔍 Google Cloud has introduced data products in Dataplex Universal Catalog (preview), packaging curated data assets, documentation, and governance controls into purpose-built units aligned to business use cases. These data products let producers declare quality, freshness, ownership, and contractual guarantees while grouping assets to simplify access and reduce operational toil. Consumers can discover, request access, and rely on documented lineage and context to accelerate analytics. Google also positions data products as foundational inputs to more reliable AI and agent-driven workflows.
