Research direction

Start by reviewing the listed Azure CLI, ARO-HCP serviceconfig.json, Cosmos DB Regions.cs, and Azure PowerShell BackupUtils.cs sources, then locate the repository's existing Regions dataset and generation workflow. Define which fields can be sourced reliably and what process should update the open data file. Done means the dataset can be regenerated and updated from the selected public sources with the available additional data.
