What is AWS Service Catalog?

AWS Service Catalog is a service that lets you create and manage catalogs of the products that your users can access through an easy-to-use portal. These products can include the deployment of virtual machine images, servers, software and databases.

With Service Catalog, you can define which users can use which products. You can also control how you configure these products through the use of levels, such as at an individual, group or department level. You can further use the service to update your products so that your users are always accessing the latest versions of it.

Service Catalog can help you meet compliance requirements through its centralized management. You can also use it to keep track of cost, performance, security and the operational status of your products.

The service additionally provides an API, which you can use as an alternative to the AWS Management Console. It gives you programmatic control over your users' actions.
