Data Resilience
The Data Resilience group covers entries related to ensuring data availability, integrity, and sovereignty across its lifecycle. This includes replication, backup, recovery, region restrictions, and protection against data loss or corruption.
CCC.Vector.CP01 Embedding Storage
Supports storage of high-dimensional vector embeddings derived from raw input data such as text, images, or audio.
CCC.Vector.CP02 Vector Indexing
Provides creation and management of indexes optimized for similarity search, such as HNSW, IVF, or PQ.
CCC.Vector.CP03 Similarity Search
Enables nearest-neighbor queries using a query embedding to return the most similar vectors from the store.
CCC.Vector.CP04 Metadata Filtering
Supports structured filtering on metadata fields alongside vector similarity search queries.
CCC.Vector.CP06 Real-Time Querying
Provides low-latency response to vector similarity queries suitable for interactive applications.
CCC.Vector.CP09 Vector Dimension Management
Supports storing and managing vectors of specific or dynamic dimensionality, depending on model needs.
CCC.Vector.CP10 Multi-modal Vector Support
Supports storing and searching across vectors derived from multiple modalities (e.g., text, image, audio).
CCC.Vector.CP12 Approximate or Exact Search Modes
Supports both approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) algorithms for speed and exact search modes for precision-critical applications.
Ingestion
The Ingestion group covers entries related to how a service receives or retrieves data, inputs, or commands for processing. This includes both active (pull-based) and passive (push-based) ingestion patterns.
CCC.Vector.CP05 Batch Ingestion
Allows for high-throughput batch upload and deletion of vectors and associated metadata.
Resource Management
The Resource Management group covers entries related to the lifecycle, configuration, and operational integrity of cloud resources. This includes resource exhaustion, tag manipulation, version rollback, scaling, and cost management.
CCC.Vector.CP07 Index Lifecycle Management
Enables automated or manual creation, optimization, and removal of vector indexes.
Machine Learning
The Machine Learning group covers entries related to building, training, deploying, and managing ML models and AI systems. This includes development environments, experiment tracking, model registries, inference, generative AI, prompt engineering, and model governance.
CCC.Vector.CP08 Embedding Format Compatibility
Supports standard vector formats and integrates with common embedding generators (e.g., OpenAI, HuggingFace, TensorFlow).
Access Control
The Access Control group covers entries related to authentication, authorization, and trust perimeter enforcement. This includes multi-factor authentication, least privilege access, network access rules, and prevention of unauthorized access or reconnaissance.
CCC.Vector.CP11 Query Access Control
Provides the ability to restrict who can run vector similarity or metadata filter queries, separate from data modification rights.
