The AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog that allows customers to buy and sell third-party software, data, and services running on AWS. The marketplace offers a wide range of products, including machine learning solutions, analytics services, premium storage and security services, operating systems, cost optimization tools, and more. Products available on the marketplace are approved by AWS and can be purchased through a streamlined process, with prices determined by the vendor. AWS credits are sometimes offered to incentivize customers to invest in their products, which can be used to offset Marketplace subscriptions. The marketplace offers integration with AWS services, making it easier to manage products, track renewals, and apply credits. Purchasing cost optimization tools on the marketplace provides financial benefits, including increased visibility and exclusive vendor benefits. Overall, the marketplace is an ideal platform for customers who are already aware of their AWS expenses and meet many of their workload requirements through AWS.
