1. A method comprising:
generating, at a vehicle computing system located on a vehicle, a first plurality of data attributes using one or more vehicle applications configured to operate on a vehicle operating system on the vehicle computing system, the first plurality of data attributes associated with the vehicle;
retrieving, at the vehicle computing system, related information items associated with the first plurality of data attributes, directly from a third party source through a first cloud network connection, wherein the related information items include data and one or more actions to be performed on the vehicle received from the third party source, the third party source receives data from a data container platform instance, the vehicle computing system communicates with the third party source via the first cloud network connection;
performing, at the vehicle computing system, the one or more actions received from the third party;
generating, at the vehicle computing system, a second plurality of data attributes associated with the vehicle based on the retrieved related information items;
sending, from the vehicle computing system, the first plurality of data attributes and the second plurality of data attributes as a data stream to the data container platform instance through a second cloud network connection;
wherein an application at the data container platform instance accesses a topic data stream, the application is subscribed to a topic in the topic data stream created by the data container platform instance, the application sends data to a decision making process that causes an action to be sent to the vehicle computing system via a third cloud network connection; and
performing, by the vehicle computing system, the action on the vehicle;
wherein the vehicle computing system processes data and actions based on a prioritization schema where higher priority items are processed using a higher percentage of processing capacity.
