5MEE	Details	Comments
GET /regions	List the geographical regions supported, and the associated zones	Additional method to GetOptimalPlatformsByRegion

EXRA	Details	Comments
POST /api/v1/auth/ctrl/ShowCloudlet	Show Cloudlets. Lists all the cloudlets managed from Edge Controller. Includes a region parameter per cloudlet	This method does not list directly all available regions, there does not seem to exist a direct method for that.

The API to obtain the regions supported by a controller is actually controller/show which is part of the contribution in https://github.com/camaraproject/EdgeCloud/blob/main/code/API_definitions/edgexr-nb-openapi.yaml.

Thanks Thomas - so which if the table cells above would say yes to reflect that - is it EXRC?

[gunjald]

This capability is not part of the Capgemini proposal i.e. GMEC

[maheshc01]

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

This are the flow diagrams for corresponding EdgeXR API. Note that the notion of "region" is up to the deploying operator to define, i.e. it doesn't necessarily need to reflect geographical regions (but i can).
