1. A method, comprising:
querying a global discovery server (GDS) for a mapping between an alias and a connection string of an input-output (I/O) channel hosted by a distributed control node (DCN);
subscribing a cross-platform client to the I/O channel, wherein the subscribing includes establishing, between the cross-platform client and the DCN, a persistent network connection using the connection string;
obtaining, via the persistent network connection from a local alias database of the DCN, a locally updated list of mappings between aliases and connection strings;
identifying a discrepancy between the locally updated list of mappings and the mapping between the alias and the connection string of the I/O channel hosted by the DCN;
based on the discrepancy, establishing a temporary network connection between the cross-platform client and the GDS; and
retrieving, from the GDS via the temporary network connection, an updated mapping between the alias and a new connection string.
