Getting Started Library

AWS Service Catalog provides a Getting Started Library of well-architected product templates so 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.

Prerequisites

Before you use the templates in our Getting Started Library, make sure you have the following:

High Reliability Architectures

Our High Reliability Architectures portfolio is a repository of well-architected, multi-region blueprints. Each blueprint provides prescriptive implementation guidance for AWS services commonly used to build multi-region workloads. Examples include patterns for managing infrastructure changes and data storage backup and recovery for user identity, key-value, and object data across multiple regions.
