Remote catalogs

As an application developer for the provider, you can create a remote catalog item containing the services for your consumers. After you create a remote catalog item, an administrator in the consumer’s instance can assign it to their catalogs and categories, and then activate it, just like any other catalog item.

Example:

For example, let's say that you have multiple SD-WAN product offerings: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Your remote catalog contains 20 services that are associated with the SD-WAN products.

• The Gold product offering gives your consumer rights to all 20 services.
• The Silver product offering gives your consumer rights to 15 of the 20 services.
• The Bronze product offering gives your consumer rights to only 10 of the 20 services.

You can package all 20 of those services in a single catalog. The consumers for each product offering only have rights to the services to which they are entitled.
