Alibaba Cloud cloud OS image pattern-based discovery
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses the Alibaba - Cloud OS Image (LP) pattern to discover cloud OS images 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.
