For any migration or disaster recovery (DR) activity, the first step is to discover the cluster in SWIFT. Discovery allows SWIFT to identify and register the cluster along with its associated resources such as namespaces, workloads, and other objects. Only after the cluster is successfully discovered, you can proceed with operations like syncing applications, or performing the actual migration or failover tasks.
