Resource offering categories

Resource offering categories allow you to classify resource offerings for improved filtering and identification. CSA includes some predefined categories out-of-the-box (shown below) or you can create your own. A category is associated with a resource offering and can be used when assigning resource offerings to service designs.

Service components within a service design can accept offering assignments only for those offerings with a category that is supported by the service component type. For example, a Server service component can be associated with offerings from a category of Compute (among others), while a Software Application Service component can be associated with offerings with a category of Application.

Resource categories are available by selecting By Category from the list in the left navigation pane.
