Organizing Catalog into Categories

C.

The construct used to organize the catalog into discrete categories is called "Blueprints".

In cloud management and automation, a blueprint refers to a pre-configured package or template of cloud infrastructure components that can be used to deploy and manage cloud services. These blueprints can be customized and modified as per the organization's requirements, and they help to ensure consistent deployment of infrastructure across environments.

In the context of the catalog, blueprints are used to organize different services and resources into categories based on their functionality or purpose. For example, an organization might create blueprints for different types of virtual machines, such as Windows-based VMs or Linux-based VMs. These blueprints can then be organized into categories such as "Operating Systems" or "Compute Resources".

Using blueprints to organize the catalog into categories provides a clear and structured way for users to navigate and find the resources they need. It also allows administrators to easily manage and update the catalog, by adding or removing blueprints as necessary.

Entitlements and services are also important constructs in cloud management and automation, but they are not used specifically for organizing the catalog into discrete categories. Entitlements are used to control user access to resources, while services refer to the cloud-based applications or software that users can access through the catalog. Resources are the actual cloud infrastructure components, such as virtual machines, storage volumes, or network interfaces, that users can deploy through the catalog.
