In this episode of M365.fm, Mirko Peters explains why 3D objects and digital twins are the brutal, real-world test for Microsoft Fabric governance — and how identity, lineage, and rights-as-code have to work in real time, not just in audit reports.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• What Fabric governance really is: identity, object-level security, classification, policy, lineage, and monitoring wired into OneLake and workspaces
• Why 3D assets are not “files” but constellations of captures, meshes, textures, physics, and licenses that all need coordinated control
• How Fabric enforces deterministic governance from ingestion to publishing: auto-classification, quarantine, lineage, policy changes, and workspace shortcuts
• How to version digital twins properly with manifests, semantic versioning, temporal variants, and toolchain hashes
• How interoperability and rights management work in practice with OpenUSD, glTF, Entra ID, tokens, and rights-as-code instead of PDF contracts
• Why real-time 3D (Unity, Unreal, multi-user sessions) is the ultimate test of your governance model — and what it means to enforce policy in motion

THE CORE INSIGHT

3D data does not tolerate optional governance. A single digital twin mixes massive files, multiple tools, strict licenses, and real-time collaboration; without Fabric’s identity, lineage, rights-as-code, and streaming controls, chaos is the default state. If your governance model can hold a 1:1 digital twin together under real-time load, everything else in your data estate becomes easy by comparison.

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR

This episode is ideal for data platform owners, Fabric architects, 3D and digital twin teams, and compliance or legal stakeholders who need proof that governance can keep up with high-value, high-complexity assets. If you are still shipping 3D ZIPs over email or hoping “shared drives plus NDAs” count as control, this conversation gives you a concrete blueprint to move that world into Fabric.

ABOUT THE HOST

Mirko Peters is a Microsoft 365 and Fabric consultant focused on building governed, auditable data platforms that can handle everything from tables to real-time digital twins. Through M365.fm, Mirko turns abstract governance concepts into practical patterns—manifests, rights-as-code, lineage, and policy drills—that help organizations earn real digital trust instead of just writing it in slide decks.
