The Service Catalog is a UI method of submitting and defining templates for services such as virtual machines, physical machines, virtual containers, and storage that are offered to consumers. It lets you create the template, define its resources, and save it for user use. The templates' resource definitions may be constrained or user-editable.
You can duplicate and modify templates in order to preserve the essential configuration of the master template while making minor alterations, such as decreasing or locking a resource.
Service templates can contain other service templates. This opens up the opportunity to create complex services such as a virtual or physical machines with attached storage, a nested service to contain multiple instances of such services, and other complex service templates.
Access the Manage Service Catalog page by navigating to Administration > Catalog Management.
