AWS Service Catalog Specialization

AWS Service Catalog is a tool from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows IT administrators to create and manage a catalog of cloud products that can be used by company users. Service Catalog enables administrators to establish usage and approval policies for catalog products, ensuring that users can only access cloud resources suitable for their needs and compliant with company security policies.

The products in the catalog can include any type of AWS resource, such as virtual machines, databases, containers, and cloud services. Administrators can create different user profiles to control access to the catalog's products, and users can search for and request the products they need through the Service Catalog's user interface.

The Service Catalog is a useful tool to help ensure efficient and secure use of available cloud resources within a company, allowing users to access the resources they need without requiring manual approval for each request.
