2. "I can discover the capabilities/resources available at a cloudlet/MEC platform: CPU, Memory, Storage, GPU"	No	Yes	Yes	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

5MEE	Details	Comments
GET /mecplatforms	Returns a list of optimal MEC Platforms where you can register your deployed application. You can choose to search without passing any of the inputs parameters or a combination of Service Profile, Region, subscriber density or UEIdentity.	How can be extracted mec platform resources of a given mec platform? Is it done through service profiles?

EXRA	Details	Comments
POST /api/v1/auth/ctrl/ShowCloudlet	Show Cloudlets. Lists all the cloudlets managed from Edge Controller.	Response includes Object resource_quotas {"alert_threshold": 0, "name": "string", "value": 0 } Would gpu be included here?

[ThomasEdgeXR]

Assumption "MEC" refers to "cloudlets" as defined in https://github.com/camaraproject/EdgeCloud/blob/main/documentation/SupportingDocuments/edge_terminology.md

ShowCloudlet indeed does provide the available flavors available on all cloudlets the developer can access (based on his organization memberships and their cloudlet access rights). The details of the flavors include the required parameters (CPU, Memory, Storage, GPU).

The above comment ("Response includes Object resource..." seems to refer to an execution of ShowCloudlet with Operator Role (i.e. not Developer Role) which returns additional information but is not relevant here.

Same as for Intent 1 comment, we can change 'operator MEC' to cloudlet

[gunjald]

The resource discovery capability has not been part of the proposed Capgemini APIs i.e. GMEC

[maheshc01]

the table accurately reflects the support for the intent in 5GFF MEC Exposure & Experience Management API.

The API supports discovering capabilities/resources available at the MEC site in the context of Application requirements which is defined in the form of service profile.

[Kevsy]

updated to say 'Cloudlet/MEC platform' until we have agreed which (or both) to use
