SLP configurations for PaaS and IaaS policies

For the cloud policy type, it is recommended to create an operation hierarchy for SLP. To help understand different SLP configurations for various snapshot and backup operations along with the combination of backup options, refer to the table. It also provides a distinction between the use cases that are run using the protection plan.
