 **[3]:** * **AWS Lambda:** Use the (full) log stream name.
 
 **[4]:** It's recommended to set this attribute since e.g. too little memory can easily stop a Java AWS Lambda function from working correctly. On AWS Lambda, the environment variable `AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_MEMORY_SIZE` provides this information (which must be multiplied by 1,048,576).
+
+**[5]:** On some cloud providers, it may not be possible to determine the full ID at startup,
+so it may be necessary to set `cloud.resource_id` as a span attribute instead.
+
+The exact value to use for `cloud.resource_id` depends on the cloud provider.
+The following well-known definitions MUST be used if you set this attribute and they apply:
+
+* **AWS Lambda:** The function [ARN](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html).
+  Take care not to use the "invoked ARN" directly but replace any
+  [alias suffix](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-aliases.html)
+  with the resolved function version, as the same runtime instance may be invokable with
+  multiple different aliases.
+* **GCP:** The [URI of the resource](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/full-resource-names)
+* **Azure:** The [Fully Qualified Resource ID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resources/get-by-id) of the invoked function,
+  *not* the function app, having the form
+  `/subscriptions/<SUBSCIPTION_GUID>/resourceGroups/<RG>/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/<FUNCAPP>/functions/<FUNC>`.
+  This means that a span attribute MUST be used, as an Azure function app can host multiple functions that would usually share
+  a TracerProvider.

 Note: The resource attribute `faas.instance` differs from the span attribute `faas.invocation_id`. For more information see the [Semantic conventions for FaaS spans](../../trace/semantic_conventions/faas.md#difference-between-invocation-and-instance).
