Alibaba Cloud cloud hardware type pattern-based discovery
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses the Alibaba - Cloud Hardware Type (LP) pattern to discover cloud hardware types during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
