Visualizing third-party software license procurement with AWS Marketplace single pane of glass dashboard

In this post, we go over the enhancement to the SPG dashboard. You can use the dashboard to visualize the deployment, grants, and terms of licenses associated with your AWS Marketplace software subscriptions. In some situations, IT or engineering teams may restrict business stakeholders, without required AWS training, from accessing the live production environments through AWS consoles. In these situations, you can view this business intelligence (BI) dashboard in read-only mode and obtain the desired visibility into your AWS Marketplace activity.

Automate Private Marketplace management for your organization

In this post, Deepa and I will share a solution to set up private marketplace catalogs using AWS CloudFormation templates. You can use this solution to enable automation through integration with your organization’s existing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) setup. Internally, this solution uses APIs through AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) and leverages AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, and Amazon S3. It provides an automated way to enable the private marketplace feature in your organization, create and configure multiple private marketplace experiences, and manage these experiences.
