The following AWS services can be used to help you meet the
prescribed benefits of the M&G Guide:
Service Catalog allows enterprises to create and manage
catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS. These IT
services can include everything from virtual machine images,
servers, software, and databases to complete multi-tier
application architectures. Service Catalog allows you to
centrally manage deployed IT services and your applications,
resources, and metadata. This helps you achieve consistent
governance and meet your compliance requirements, while enabling
users to quickly deploy only the approved IT services they need.
AWS Marketplace provides listings across categories like security,
networking, storage, and observability from independent software
vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software
that runs on AWS.
AWS Private Marketplace controls what products users in your AWS account, such as business users and engineering teams, can get
from AWS Marketplace. Built on top of AWS Marketplace, it enables
your administrators to create and customize curated digital
catalogs of approved independent software vendors (ISVs) and
products that conform to their in-house policies. Users in your
AWS account can find, buy, and deploy approved products from your
Private Marketplace, and ensure that all available products comply
with your organization’s policies and standards.
Managed
entitlements enable you to distribute, activate, and track
software license entitlements acquired in AWS Marketplace through
AWS License Manager. Your administrators can use AWS License Manager to automate the distribution and activation of software
entitlements to your users and workloads across accounts in your
AWS Organization. Managed entitlements also provide built-in
controls that allow only approved users and workloads to consume
licenses.
You can subscribe to, track, and manage software
licenses at scale, as third-party products purchased in AWS Marketplace create managed entitlements in AWS License Manager.
Once subscribed to a third-party Amazon Machine Image (AMI),
container, or machine learning product or dataset in AWS Marketplace, you can automate the distribution of license
entitlements across multiple accounts set up in AWS Organizations.
This removes the need for each account to manually subscribe to
each product. With a centralized administrative AWS account, you
can govern license access by distributing entitlements to
individual accounts on an as needed basis. This reduces the
potential for duplicative buying or license overuse.
AWS Solutions
Library offers a collection of cloud-based solutions for
dozens of technical and business problems, vetted for you by AWS.
You can use patterns from AWS Solutions Constructs if you want to
build your own well-architected application, explore our
collection of AWS Solutions Reference Architectures as a reference
for your project, browse the portfolio of AWS Solutions
Implementations for applications that you can automatically deploy
directly into your AWS account, or choose an AWS Solutions

AWS Quick
Starts are automated reference deployments built by AWS
Solutions Architects and AWS Partners. Quick Starts help you
deploy popular technologies on AWS based on AWS best practices for
security and high availability. These accelerators reduce hundreds
of manual procedures into just a few steps so that you can build
your production environment in minutes and start using it
immediately. Each Quick Start includes AWS CloudFormation
templates that automate the deployment and a guide that describes
the architecture and provides deployment instructions.
Service Catalog Getting Started Library provides a library
of well-architected product templates so that you can get started
quickly. You can copy any of the products in our Getting Started
Library portfolios to your own account, then customize them to
suit your needs. This library exists within the AWS Management Console to allow you an easy way of provisioning in your
multi-account environments.
If you would like support implementing this guidance, or assisting
you with building the foundational elements prescribed by the
M&G Guide, we recommend you review the offerings provided by
AWS Professional Services or the AWS Partners in the
Built
on Control Tower program.
