New Amazon Services and Templates page
The New Amazon Services and Templates page lets you name the service offering you are creating. It also requires you to specify the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that is the basis of the service offering. In an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) environment, an AMI is the basic unit of service that you can deploy.

|---|---|
Name | Name for the service you want to offer in the service catalog. |
