Abstract
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.
