How do I find out which products are available?
End User
AWS Service Catalog | Management Tools
You can see which products are available by logging in to the AWS Service Catalog console and searching the portal for products that meet your needs, or you can navigate to the full product list page. You can sort to find the product that you want.
For each product, you can view a Product details page that displays information about the product, including the version, whether a newer version of the product is available, a description, support information, and tags associated with the product. The Product details page might also indicate whether the product will be provisioned using your access permissions (Self) or an administrator-specified role (role-arn).
How do I deploy a product?

AWS Service Catalog | Management Tools
When you find a product that meets your requirements in the portal, choose Launch. You will be guided through a series of questions about how you plan to use the product. The questions might be about your business needs or your infrastructure requirements (such as “Which EC2 instance type?”). When you have provided the required information, you’ll see the product in the AWS Service Catalog console. While the product is being provisioned, you will see that it is “in progress.” After provisioning is complete, you will see “complete” and information, such as endpoints or Amazon Resource Names (ARNs), that you can use to access the product.
Can I see which products I am using?
End User
AWS Service Catalog | Management Tools
Yes. You can see which products you are using in the AWS Service Catalog console. You can see all of the stacks that are in use, along with the version of the product used to create them.
How do I update my products when a new version becomes available?
When a new version of a product is published, you can use the Update Stack command to use that version. If you are currently using a product for which there is an update, it continues to run until you close it, at which point you can choose to use the new version.
