Systems, devices, and methods related to generating instructive actions based on categorization of input data are described. In an example, a method can include receiving, from an edge device and at a processing resource of a device, a plurality of input data associated with a plurality of sources communicatively coupled to the edge device and categorizing each piece of the plurality of input data as private or public based on an associated one of the plurality of sources. The categorizing can include writing each piece of data with metadata that indicates that it is private or public and/or selecting a first data path indicated as private or a second data path indicated as public. The method can include writing each piece of the plurality of input data categorized as private to a dedicated buffer or a dedicated address space of a memory resource.
