fix(scanner): improve AZ-NET-008 with SOC2 mapping and azure_client abstraction

[aav-wh]

What does this PR do?
Improves the existing AZ-NET-008 rule rather than adding a duplicate AZ-NET-016 rule, as identified in review.
Changes

Adds missing SOC2: CC8.1 to the FRAMEWORKS dict in az_net_008.py (the entry already existed in soc2.json but was absent from the Python rule)
Refactors the scan function to use azure_client.get_load_balancers() for consistency with the project's abstraction pattern
Adds resource_group to the metadata output
Removes the duplicate az_net_016.py rule and its playbook

Type of change

Bug fix / improvement to existing rule

Testing

Returns correct JSON output
All seven CI checks pass
No hardcoded credentials or secrets

Thanks for the contribution. I am requesting changes because this appears to duplicate the existing AZ-NET-008 rule, which already covers load balancers without backend pools.

Please do not merge this as a separate AZ-NET-016 rule in its current form. A better direction would be one of these:

• improve the existing AZ-NET-008 implementation if it has gaps
• add regression tests for the existing load-balancer backend-pool detection
• improve the existing remediation playbook
• refocus this PR on a clearly distinct lifecycle/resource-hygiene case that AZ-NET-008 does not already cover

This branch is also currently conflicting with dev, so it would need to be rebased before any revised version can be reviewed.

Thanks for the review @m-khan-97. Confirmed — AZ-NET-008 already covers this check. Rather than closing, I'll refocus this branch to improve the existing rule:

Add the missing SOC2: CC8.1 mapping to the FRAMEWORKS dict (it's already in soc2.json but missing from the Python file)
Refactor the scan function to use azure_client.get_load_balancers() for consistency with the project's abstraction pattern
Add resource_group to the metadata output

Will also rebase against dev to clear the conflicts and update the PR title/description.

@m-khan-97 Changes addressed — duplicate az_net_016.py and its playbook removed, az_net_008.py improved with SOC2 mapping, azure_client.get_load_balancers() abstraction, and resource_group added to metadata. JSON files restored to dev state. CI is passing and conflicts are resolved. Ready for re-review.

@m-khan-97 @parthrohit22 , can you please revisit this PR.

[m-khan-97]

Thanks for refocusing this away from a separate AZ-NET-016. The final tree no longer adds scanner/rules/az_net_016.py, and the AZ-NET-008 improvement direction is right.

I am keeping this in changes requested for now because the PR is still not merge-ready against current dev:

1. GitHub marks the branch as conflicting (mergeStateStatus: DIRTY). Please rebase or merge current dev and resolve the conflicts.
2. The current PR diff still includes out-of-scope framework JSON changes for AZ-IDN-005 through AZ-IDN-009 and AZ-PQC-001 through AZ-PQC-003, plus a deletion of frontend/.gitkeep. Those are unrelated to improving AZ-NET-008 and should be restored to the current dev state.
3. Please keep the final diff scoped to the AZ-NET-008 improvement: scanner/rules/az_net_008.py, scanner/azure_client.py, and only the SOC2 mapping alignment if it is still missing after rebasing.

Once the branch is conflict-free and the diff is scoped, this can go to the Network review pair (@emon22-ts + @safidnadaf) for final review.

@aav-wh , can u please revisit the PR

Hi @m-khan-97, all three points addressed:

1. Rebased onto current dev — branch is now conflict-free, one clean commit on top of the latest upstream/dev.
2. Diff scoped correctly — only two files changed:

scanner/rules/az_net_008.py — SOC2 mapping added, migrated to azure_client.get_load_balancers() abstraction, resource_group added to metadata
scanner/azure_client.py — get_load_balancers() method added

No JSON framework files, no frontend/.gitkeep deletion — those have all been cleaned out.
3. SOC2 alignment — already included in the single commit above.
CI should pass on this push. Happy to make any further changes. 🙏

Re-reviewed commit 58c04c6. The previous blockers are resolved: the branch is rebased onto current dev, the duplicate AZ-NET-016 work is gone, and the diff is now limited to scanner/azure_client.py and scanner/rules/az_net_008.py. CI is green, tests/test_rules_network.py passes, and a focused behavior check confirmed the AZ-NET-008 finding, resource_group metadata, and SOC2 CC8.1 mapping.

Approved from my side. Per our review-pair policy, final merge should still wait for the Network reviewers @emon22-ts and @safidnadaf. Non-blocking follow-up: add explicit AZ-NET-008 regression coverage, since the current network test module only exercises AZ-NET-001 and AZ-NET-002.
