An airborne datacenter (ADC) device includes a datacenter assembly component (DAC) and a drive apparatus. The DAC is configured to perform: provisioning the ADC including receiving, in response to a provision request, business functions and configuration information from a provisioning center connected to the ADC over a network and self-configuring the ADC with the business functions and the configuration information; datacenter operations with the ADC including receiving, from another ADC within a fleet of ADCs and over the network, processing results generated by the another ADC, performing the datacenter operations using the business functions and the processing results generated by the another ADC, and forwarding processing results of the datacenter operations to a land-based enterprise over the network; and decommissioning the ADC including transferring runtime information of the ADC, and deleting the runtime information from the ADC. The DAC includes digital processing equipment configured to perform the business functions.
