NVMe-oF suffers from a well-known discovery problem that fundamentally limits the size of realistic deployments. To address this discovery problem, the FMDS working group (within nvme.org) is working on two proposals that will allow NVMe-oF to be managed via a “network centric” provisioning process instead of an “end-node centric” one.
TP-8009 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1948625): will enable the Automated Discovery of NVMe-oF Discovery Controllers in an IP Network and will prevent an end-user from needing to manually configure the IP Address of Discovery Controllers.
TP-8010 (this launchpad): will define the concept of a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) and will allow end-users to manage connectivity from a single point of management on an IP Fabric by IP Fabric basis.

Here is code that implements TP8009 and TP8010:
