Hi Manoj. Some questions about "FastAPI application providing exposing information from sites"
Why is it specific to FastAPI rather than just being a web service endpoint? Surely the service description should be implementation independent.
And what do you mean "providing exposing information" - that sounds worrying?
And could we find a more meaningful name than "is" maybe?

Reply from Sebastian Luna-Valero:

Thanks for the feedback. Below is an updated description for this new service type:

• high-level description of the service functionality (255 characters max): Web service endpoint aggregating information from cloud providers in the EGI Federated Cloud published using the GlueSchema representation. For more details, see https://github.com/EGI-Federation/cloud-info-api

Regarding the name of the service type, I am following the suggestion in:

https://docs.egi.eu/internal/configuration-database/service-types/#adding-new-services-types

Note: please provide a suggested service type name following the naming scheme described above (technology provider’s reversed domain . software name) and a brief sentence to describe the service type.

But I am happy to consider new names.
