Adding products

You can add products to a portfolio by uploading a new product directly to an existing portfolio or by associating an existing product from your catalog to the portfolio.

Note

When you create a AWS Service Catalog product, you can upload an AWS CloudFormation template or Terraform configuration file. The AWS CloudFormation template is stored in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket, and the bucket name begins with "cf-templates-." You also must have permission to retrieve objects from additional buckets when provisioning a product. For more information, see Creating products.

Adding a new product

You add new products directly from the Portfolio details page. When you create a product from this page, AWS Service Catalog adds it to the currently selected portfolio.

To add a new product

1. Navigate to the Portfolios page, and then choose the name of the portfolio to which you want to add the product.

2. On the Portfolio details page, expand the Products section, and then choose Upload new product.

3. For Enter product details, enter the following:

   • Product name – The name of the product.

   • Product description (optional) – The product description. This description is shown in the product listing to help you choose the correct product.

     For Teraform products, choose your own template file, a tar.gz configuration file from a local drive or a URL that points to a template stored in Amazon S3, or a tar.gz configuration file stored in an external repository.
