An Internet of Things (IoT) system may include a publisher computer connected to IoT devices. The publisher computer may execute operations to provide data for the IoT devices to a remote computer which may be included in a cloud infrastructure. The publisher computer can receive data from the IoT devices, convert the data to a publisher-subscriber format that conforms to a predetermined specification, and transmit the data to the cloud infrastructure or other remote computers.

Cloud-assisted computing systems, devices, and associated methods of global discovery services are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computing device of a processing plant in an operational technology ('OT') infrastructure is configured to upon detecting a data server is connected to the OT network in a processing plant, collect, from the detected data server, data representing a configuration of the data server and transmit a registration request containing the collected data to a cloud computing system via a secure connection to register the detected data server as a data source in the OT infrastructure. The computing device can then receive a registration confirmation indicating that the configuration of the data server is stored in the cloud computing system and is discoverable by client devices at other processing plants in the OT infrastructure.
