At this point we now have a cloud with resources, tenants and connectivity but no content, so we’ll move onto
the final phase of preparing the cloud for use — adding content.
5.7 Create Catalogs
Catalogs are used to oer vApps and media (iso, floppies) to end users for self service. IT can build standardized
oerings of virtual machine and application environments by creating them and uploading them to the Catalog.
Catalogs are created by Organization administrators or Catalog authors, and can be shared or published. When
a Catalog is shared it can be set up to be accessible by one or more members of an Organization. When a
Catalog is published, it can be accessed by other Organizations in the private cloud.
vApps can be created in Organization Catalogs using three ways.
