Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses the Alibaba - Availability Zone (LP) pattern to discover availability zones 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.
