Cloud Services Catalog administration guide

After you set up the Cloud Services Catalog application, you must set up some additional items so that your users can request and manage any cloud resource.

Configuring governance

You can use governance tools to restrict the provisioning of cloud resources, such as quotas and policies. For example, you can configure the approval workflow that is used after a user requests a cloud resource, whether an email is sent after a cloud resource is stopped, and which datacenter is automatically selected when a user selects a resource from a cloud provider. For more information about quotas, policies, and other governance types, see Cloud Governance.

Populating the Cloud Services Catalog

After you apply the governance quotas and policies, you must create Cloud Services Catalog items. You can create a catalog item in the following ways:

1. Import a template from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform.
2. Use or modify an out-of-the-box catalog item.
3. Use a Terraform template.
