AWS Marketplace
A curated digital catalog for finding, buying, deploying, and managing third-party software, data, and professional services for AWS.
Key points
- Eligible charges can appear on the AWS bill, simplifying procurement and cost visibility.
- Marketplace offerings are provided by AWS Partners and other sellers; AWS services and third-party products are not the same thing.
- Private Marketplace and entitlement controls can support organizational governance.
Best-known use cases
- Acquire a third-party security or business solution through AWS.
- Centralize approved Marketplace products and billing.
What candidates often confuse it with
- Marketplace is a purchasing catalog; the AWS Partner Network is the broader partner ecosystem.
- Artifact provides AWS compliance documents, not third-party software.
Key Cloud Practitioner takeaway
Choose Marketplace to procure third-party solutions with AWS-oriented deployment, entitlement, and billing workflows.
