# Creating AWS Service Catalog Products for Shared Services and Member Accounts Using CloudFormation Templates

Commvault provides CloudFormation (CFT) templates that you can use to create shared services and member account products for the AWS Service Catalog. You can then use the account products to create new accounts, and you can attach the templates to existing accounts. The templates encapsulate the permissions that required to protect AWS workloads in your multi-account environment.

Important

- You must create the Commvault shared services account product first, as documented below. Then, you create the Commvault member account product.

- After you create AWS Service Catalog account products, use those products to provision accounts going forward. Don't provision AWS accounts from the AWS Organizations console anymore.

## Download the Templates

Download the Commvault-provided CFT templates:

- SharedServicesAccount-CFT.yml
