Demonstration catalogs

Explains the sample catalogs included with Enterprise Marketplace that can be used in demonstrations.
As part of your Enterprise Marketplace tenant, a set of demonstration catalogs have been included that are available out of the box (OOTB). These catalogs are available from three public cloud providers, and are intended for demonstration purposes only. These catalogs will appear in all tenants installed after June 5, 2024. They will be automatically added to regular tenants. They can be distributed to client tenants at the discretion of the Service Provider tenant.
These out-of-the-box (OOTB) catalogs should never be used in production environments.

The following demonstration catalogs are available:

Using demonstration catalogs

The demonstration catalogs are already available on the
Catalog
 page as well as on the
Service Chaining
 page.
These out-of-the-box (OOTB) catalogs should never be used in production environments.

Example of using demonstration catalogs

The following is an example of a demonstration of the service chaining feature using the demonstration catalogs available for GCP. The process is similar for the other providers.
  1. Import the three catalogs from the Terraform Service Chaining folder under GCP. For more information, see Template management using the Bring Your Own Catalog Item tool. The three catalogs have the following names:
    • Google Compute Engine (Terraform - Service Chaining)
    • Google VPC Network (Terraform - Service Chaining)
    • Google Subnet (Terraform - Service Chaining)
  2. Enrich the catalogs as necessary. For more information, see Provider management.
  3. On the
    Provider Management
     page, click the
    Actions
     icon for the three catalogs and select
    Publish
    . For more information, see Provider management.
  4. Open the
    Service Chaining
     page.
  5. Create a new service chain using the steps in Service Chaining. Use the demonstration catalogs as the components of the chain.
  6. Open the
    Catalog
     page.
  7. Click the
    All Patterns
     tab.
  8. Click the
    Actions
     icon for the pattern that you want to order and select
    Place order
    .
  9. Go through the ordering process for the pattern. For more information, see Catalog ordering.
  10. Go to the
    Ordered Services
     page to see the stack you created. For more information, see Stack management.
