External Engines for Amazon Service Catalog

Amazon Service Catalog adds new documentation for external engines. External engines are represented through an EXTERNAL product type. The EXTERNAL product type allows for the integration of third-party provisioning engines, such as Terraform. You can use external engines to extend the capabilities of Service Catalog beyond the native Amazon CloudFormation templates, enabling the use of other instructure as code (IaC) tools. For more information, see External Engines for Amazon Service Catalog.
