AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 558

A company needs to create and manage a portfolio of IT workloads that the company approves for use on AWS.

Which AWS service provides this functionality?

Answer options

• A. AWS Config
• B. AWS Service Catalog
• C. AWS Systems Manager
• D. AWS CloudFormation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Service Catalog enables organizations to construct and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for deployment on AWS, helping maintain governance while allowing self-service. AWS CloudFormation is used for infrastructure provisioning via templates, whereas AWS Config monitors resource configurations and compliance. AWS Systems Manager provides operational management and automation capabilities, not portfolio management.
