2.2. Platform Mapping
2.3. Category Mapping
2.4. Service Section Mapping
2.5. Source Mapping
2.6. Customization Mapping
2.7. Multiregional Mapping
The Index (comment) structure follows a pattern that represents different metadata attributes of a rule. The Index contains 10 digits and has the following format:
- Cloud: Represents the cloud provider where the rule is applicable. (2 digits)
- Platform: Represents the platform where the rule is applicable. (2 digits)
- Category: Represents the category of the rule, indicating its purpose or focus. (2 digits)
- Service Section: Represents the cloud service section to which the rule applies. (2 digits)
- Source: Represents the source of the rule (e.g., benchmark). (2 digits)
- Customization: Indicates whether the rule has 'customization' (1) or not (0). (1 digit)
- Multiregional: Indicates whether the rule is multiregional (1) or not (0). (1 digit)
