AWS Service Catalog is now available for use in AWS Managed Services (AMS) accounts. You can now leverage Service Catalog as an alternative to the AWS change management system to provision and manage resources in your AMS accounts.

With Service Catalog, you can control which IT services and versions are available, the configuration of the available services, and permission access by individual, group, department, or cost center. Once provisioned, AMS manages all of the operational tasks needed to run AWS at scale for all infrastructure resources provisioned through Service Catalog.
