Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments presented herein address issues related to discovery controller collaboration in multi-cloud operating environments, in which a resource storage system and a destination storage system may not be managed by the same team or process. Therefore, providing a single Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) that can be directly utilized by both the source and destination may not be possible. To address the multi-datacenter configuration concerns, embodiments of a Federated Discovery Controller (FDC) are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, an FDC comprises a primary CDC (PCDC) and one or more non-primary Discovery Controllers (NDCs). After initial configuration and connection establishment, a bi-directional connection between the PCDC and each NDC may be established for desired namespace discovery and storage capacity utilization across different Discovery Controllers.
