1. A computer-implemented method for placement of centralized discovery controller (CDC) services comprising:
given a plurality of endpoints and a network fabric comprising a plurality of nodes comprising at least one leader node and multiple follower nodes in the network fabric:
dividing a plurality of CDC services into one or more centralized services and multiple distributed services, the one or more centralized services configured to have connectivity to the multiple distributed services;
placing the one or more centralized services on a leader node on the at least one leader node; and
placing the multiple distributed services on or distributed across the multiple follower nodes, the multiple distributed services being placed closer to the plurality of endpoints than the one or more centralized services are to the plurality of endpoints.
