What is Marketplace?

  • Marketplace is a digital catalog that allows customers to find, subscribe, and deploy third-party software and professional services products.
  • There are over 2.5 million subscriptions, 20,000 products, and 5,000 sellers on Marketplace.
  • Customers can either self-serve through a click-to-buy solution or negotiate with a seller for a private offer.

Governing Procurement with Private Marketplace

  • With Marketplace, anyone can subscribe and deploy products, which may not align with an organization's procurement process.
  • Private Marketplace allows organizations to create a curated list of approved products that users can access.
  • Procurement teams can control which products are available in the Private Marketplace and who can access them.
  • Private Marketplace can be customized with the organization's branding and product descriptions.
  • Private Marketplace can help reduce procurement time, as shown in the quote from David Hoffman of Sony Corporation.

Scaling Private Marketplace Across Multiple AWS Organizations

  • AWS Organizations is a service that allows centralized management of multiple AWS accounts.
  • Organizations can be structured using Organizational Units (OUs) to group accounts.
  • Private Marketplace can be attached to specific accounts, OUs, or all accounts in an organization.
  • However, when an organization has multiple AWS Organizations, managing Private Marketplace becomes more challenging.
  • To address this, the solution introduced has two components:
    1. Management Organization: Where the management experience is defined and synchronized to member organizations.
    2. Member Organizations: Where the synchronized experiences are deployed.
  • The solution takes care of synchronizing the management experience to the member organizations, allowing for centralized governance and compliance with procurement policies.
  • The solution also offers monitoring capabilities to track the synchronization status of each member organization.

Conclusion

  • The solution presented helps organizations with multiple AWS Organizations to centrally manage their Private Marketplace experiences, ensuring consistent procurement policies and reducing operational overhead.
  • The solution is open-source and available for anyone to deploy in their environment.
