So how do you choose whether to use an exclusion or exemption? Typically exclusions are recommended to permanently bypass evaluation for a broad scope like a test environment which doesn't require the same level of governance. Exemptions are recommended for time-bound or more specific scenarios where a resource or resource hierarchy should still be tracked and would otherwise be evaluated, but there is a specific reason it should not be assessed for compliance.
