Adding a deployable architecture to Partner Center
As the first step in the onboarding process, you can either add the deployable architecture to Partner Center, or you can import an existing one from a private catalog.
A deployable architecture is cloud automation for deploying a common architectural pattern that combines one or more cloud resources. It is designed to provide simplified deployment by users, scalability, and modularity. A deployable architecture incorporates one or more modules. Deployable architectures are coded in Terraform, which you configure with input variables to achieve the behavior that you want. For more information, see What is a deployable architecture?.
