Hi,

The title is pretty self-contained. I’d like to set an API endpoint as a regional one with Serverless ([https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/create-regional-api.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/create-regional-api.html)).

This is for fault-tolerance, in combination with global DynamoDB tables, to deploy a single application to multiple regions without CNAME conflict.

I could not find the proper `serverless.yml` option to achieve this. Is there any?

Thanks.

**Edit:** Seems to relate to issue [#4440](https://github.com/serverless/serverless/issues/4440), and not to be supported as of now.

It has been supported for some time, I’m dropping it here for whoever finds this question and want to see the setup:

```
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs12.x
  endpointType: REGIONAL
```
