WHAT IS DATA ECOSYSTEM

An ecosystem, to put it simply, is a collection of components that communicate with one another. The jungle in a tropical rainforest or the amazon rain forest are examples of vast ecosystems. The germs on your skin may also be small, like tadpoles in a puddle. Additionally, data has its own ecology, just like the kangaroos and koala bears that reside in the Australian desert. Data is produced, managed, stored, organized, analyzed, and shared through the interaction of many different parts that make up data ecosystems. These components include the people who use the tools, as well as the technology and software. The cloud is another place where data can be found. Instead of storing data on a computer hard disk, you can use the cloud. So, data is accessed through the internet rather than being stored somewhere inside your company's network. As a data analyst, it is your responsibility to make the most of the cloud's role in the data ecosystem, locate the pertinent data, and offer...
