Automation Architecture
VM Audit Automation Architecture
A data pipeline for inventory collection, normalization, compliance checks, and audit reporting.
Why the pipeline matters
Audit reporting is only reliable when the data is normalized before it reaches the dashboard or export layer.
Design principle
The architecture should make source data traceable so auditors can see where each row came from and how it was derived.
Design Notes
What the diagram should communicate.
- Normalization comes before presentation.
- Traceability is part of audit readiness.
- Owner metadata improves both compliance and operations.
Diagram-ready system flow
System steps organized for architecture review and visual implementation.
Architecture metadata
This system flow captures the major components, ownership boundaries, and operational handoffs for technical review.
