Which online catalog store lets a customer find, buy, and quickly deploy third-party software (such as virtual appliances and SaaS) into their own AWS environment?
A question about choosing the catalog store where third-party software can be bought.
AWS Marketplace
Correct. AWS Marketplace is an online catalog store where customers can find and buy software offered by independent software vendors (such as virtual appliances, containers, SaaS, and machine learning models) and quickly deploy it into their own AWS environment. Charges are consolidated into the AWS bill.
AWS Service Catalog
AWS Service Catalog lets an organization create a catalog of approved IT services and templates and distribute them to internal users.
Its purpose is the internal rollout of products the organization has approved, NOT an online store for finding and buying third-party products, so it is incorrect.
AWS License Manager
AWS License Manager tracks and manages the usage of software licenses you already hold.
Its role is managing existing licenses, NOT a store for finding, buying, and deploying new software, so it is incorrect.
AWS Artifact
AWS Artifact is a portal where you can download AWS compliance reports and agreements on demand whenever you need them.
What you get are documents for audits, NOT a catalog store for buying and deploying software products, so it is incorrect.
'Find, buy, and instantly deploy third-party software' is AWS Marketplace. Charges are consolidated into the AWS bill. It is easy to confuse with Service Catalog, which distributes an organization-approved catalog internally, so distinguish them by 'whose products are delivered to whom'.
