Concept | The Govern node’s role in the Dataiku platform#
Within the Dataiku platform, the Govern node is the centralized place dedicated to managing the governance of analytics, models, and agents at the enterprise level.
The Dataiku platform suite#
If you have a background in MLOps with Dataiku, you’ll already be familiar with Dataiku’s family of integrated nodes. As an end-to-end platform, Dataiku includes the following environments:
Node |
Purpose |
|---|---|
Design |
A sandbox environment for building data and AI projects |
Deployer |
A place for managing the deployment of project bundles and API services |
Automation |
A production environment for batch deployment of project bundles |
API |
A production environment for real-time deployment API services |
Important
As you’ll see in Concept | Surfacing Dataiku items in the Govern node, these nodes sync their items to the Govern node. Accordingly, even if your primary focus is governance, it’s important to have a basic understanding of the other sections of the Dataiku platform.
The need for governance#
These nodes work in tandem as a complete ecosystem for building, deploying, and monitoring data and AI projects. At the same time, many organizations incorporate an additional layer of governance as part of their stack.
When building AI solutions, these organizations prioritize scaling AI safely and ensuring appropriate oversight. They consider factors such as risk-adjusted value monitoring, compliance with AI regulations, responsible AI practices, and sustainability.
The Govern node#
The Govern node is an additional type of node in the Dataiku platform that enables organizations to implement these principles at the enterprise level by:
Pre-qualifying data and AI projects before they begin.
Centralizing work across data platforms.
Reviewing progress on data and AI projects under way.
Documenting relevant information about progress, scope, stakeholders, and more.
Approving or preventing deployments.
Tracking model performance over time.
Auditing changes and work history.
Next steps#
An out-of-the-box capability of the Govern node is its ability to sync items from connected Dataiku nodes. Learn more in Concept | Surfacing Dataiku items in the Govern node.
