VMware vCloud Director Evaluator’s Guide
Step 3: Verify
When you are done creating the Catalogs and adding vApp templates, click the “Catalogs” tab and ensure that
the Catalogs you created are available. If you shared the Catalog or had it published, ensure that the Shared
column or the Published column shows the correct status. Click on vApp Templates and Media tabs to verify that
the templates and media you imported are available.
Figure 5-7-4. Verify That the Catalogs Are Created.
Catalogs are very powerful constructs that allow you to build standard oerings of vApp templates and media
files to your end users. By centrally managing vApp templates in Catalogs, IT departments are able to
standardize oerings, and simplify troubleshooting, patching and change management.
Once Catalogs are built and shared/published, IT departments can empower users to self-provision vApps from
Catalogs. The standardization and self-provisioning help cut down cost and improve agility and time to market
for applications.

Catalog, we are ready to allow users to use Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
