Management and Governance
AWS Service Catalog
AWS Service Catalog distributes approved cloud products and portfolios to governed consumers. A platform team can package compliant GenAI reference architectures so builders launch supported patterns instead of assembling unrestricted resources.
Key points
- Products are versioned templates with associated provisioning artifacts
- Portfolios control which principals can launch which products
- Launch constraints can use prescribed roles and permissions
When to use it
- Offer a preapproved private RAG stack to application teams
- Publish a governed agent sandbox with cost and logging defaults
Exam tips
- Choose Service Catalog for self-service approved products and CloudFormation or CDK to author their infrastructure
- Version products and deprecate unsafe releases without silently mutating existing deployments
