Compliance evaluation logic
- If the description of each security group is not empty, the evaluation result is Compliant.
- If the description of a security group is empty, the evaluation result is Incompliant. For more information about how to remediate an incompliant configuration, see Incompliance remediation.
- This rule applies only to Elastic Compute Service (ECS). This rule does not apply
to other Alibaba Cloud services, such as Cloud Firewall (CFW) and NAT Gateway, or
security groups that are used by virtual network operators (VNOs).
Note Security groups that are created by using Alibaba Cloud services except ECS in managed mode are called managed security groups. For more information about managed security groups, see Managed security groups.
