What is Microsoft Purview?

We might have spent much time organizing and preparing documents for the Data Governance activity. Still, Azure Purview is a unified data governance service that helps us to manage and govern our on-premises, multi-cloud, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) data. Easily create a holistic, up-to-date map of our data landscape with automated data discovery, sensitive data classification, and end-to-end data lineage. Empower data consumers to find valuable, trustworthy data. This is in continuation of Azure Data Catalog.

Here in Azure Purview, we can discover, catalog, and leverage the Data Lineage to backtrack and analyze the data and its life cycle.
