Question: In the context of Northbound EAS Deployment Information management between Application Function (AF) and Network Exposure Function (NEF), what is the primary purpose of the procedures outlined for their interaction?
Option 1: To authorize AF-provisioned EAS Deployment Information storage in the Unified Data Repository (UDR) and manage its lifecycle (create, update, delete).
Option 2: Solely to create new EAS Deployment Information entries without the ability to update or delete existing ones.
Option 3: Exclusively for updating and deleting pre-existing EAS Deployment Information, without provisions for creating new entries.
Option 4: To manage user subscriptions and policy rules unrelated to EAS Deployment Information.
Explanation: This option correctly captures the essence of the procedures' purpose. The interaction between AF and NEF is designed to authorize storage of provisioned EAS Deployment Information in the UDR and provide comprehensive management capability, including creating, updating, and deleting such information, ensuring dynamic and accurate maintenance of deployment details within the network's repository.
