Evaluates whether each Elastic Compute Service (ECS) disk has an automatic snapshot policy. If a policy is configured, the result is Compliant.

Scenarios

With an automatic snapshot policy, Alibaba Cloud creates snapshots for an ECS disk at the specified time and interval. Automatic snapshots improve data security and fault tolerance.

Risk level

Default risk level: low.

You can change the risk level when you apply this rule.

Compliance evaluation logic

  • If an automatic snapshot policy is configured for an ECS disk, the result is Compliant.
  • If no automatic snapshot policy is configured for an ECS disk, the result is Incompliant. To remediate this, see Incompliance remediation.
