Application consistent dataset recovery using a cognitive control plane is provided. Sequence and timestamp of snapshots of volumes in a consistency group across heterogenous storage components corresponding to an application are recorded to facilitate operational recovery of application consistent datasets for the application. The cognitive control plane establishes a framework to manage, monitor, analyze, and update the consistency group and metadata to facilitate application consistent data recovery. A set of snapshots needed for the operational recovery of the application consistent datasets for the application is identified by mapping the sequence and timestamp of the snapshots of the volumes in the consistency group across the heterogenous storage components corresponding to the application in response to the computer determining that the operational recovery of the application consistent datasets for the application has been requested. The operational recovery of the application consistent datasets for the application is performed using the set of snapshots.
