In Hyperscaler platforms viz., Azure Operators or AWS Wavelength the Operate API's are the public cloud providers proprietary interfaces, ? For such public cloud provider specific solutions, I would think the CAMARA API's should provide a means to seamlessly integrate the network capabilities.

Can I assume that Camara API focus on service API while for TM Forum actually more into operation API ?

Thanks for the clarification and thank you for sharing the links. Actually, I see this slightly differently. Yes. I agree that the TMForum way of activating the networkAPI thru the product catalog is a valid scenario.
However, there could be other platforms that can consume the network APIs without the Telecom BSS. i.e., the Hyperscaler Network edge offerings. In that scenario, I would think we only the need the CAMARA APIs, reg. the network API charging (alternative approaches could be used).
For Network Driven usecase realisation, the camara APIs would be desirable to further extend/add support for multiple options of making the network data available to application platforms/servers. E.g. MQTT broker
Pls correct me if this understanding is not right.

I wouldn't call them complementary, not at this point at least - the overlap is quite significant. Prior discussion on this very forum: https://engage.tmforum.org/discussion/tmforum-open-apis-and-camara - Elisabeth points to a very insightful deck of slides describing the problem and suggesting a solution.

I see TMForum & CAMARA API's are complementary serving different needs. E.g. for realtime usecases CAMARA is used (abstract the telecom network implementation variations across MNOs).
