A consulting company provides tools and solutions to help customers gather and analyze data on AWS. The company needs to centrally manage and deploy a common set of solutions and tools so customers can use them via self-service. Which solution meets this requirement?

AWS Service Catalog allows organizations to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS. This is the ideal solution because it enables the consulting company to centrally define, manage, and deploy a common set of solutions and tools as "products." Customers can then browse and launch these products through a self-service portal, ensuring they deploy only approved and correctly configured resources. Creating AWS CloudFormation templates would require customers to manually deploy and manage them, lacking the self-service portal and governance features of Service Catalog. AWS Systems Manager templates are used for operational tasks and automation within instances, not for cataloging and deploying entire solutions. AWS Config items are used for assessing, auditing, and evaluating the configurations of AWS resources, not for provisioning them.
