That is a key consideration in sharded architectures. While execution and data storage are decentralized at the shard level, governance remains centralized.
A master-level console aggregates real-time telemetry from all shards and presents a unified view of device health, compliance posture, and license usage across the entire fleet. Administrators do not need to manage each shard individually. Instead, standardized policy templates and compliance baselines can be propagated across all shards simultaneously. This ensures consistent enforcement of security and regulatory requirements globally, while still preserving the performance, isolation, and regional compliance benefits of Fleet Sharding.
