Log sources and channels

Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.

Mutable elements

Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.

FieldDescription
IAMRoleRoles that are allowed to register and modify images should be scoped narrowly.
ImageTagRegexExpected tags or naming patterns for images (e.g., 'golden-image', 'base-image').
LaunchWindowTime interval between image creation and instance launch.
