# Exploring Cloud Services Catalog

The Cloud Services Catalog application is the single place that you have to go to for automating cloud management tooling. It replaces and improves on the capabilities that were offered by Cloud Provisioning and Governance user and admin portals.

## Cloud Services Catalog overview

The Cloud Services Catalog Request page on Employee Center enables you to request cloud management actions. For example, you can request provisioning \(Day 1\), patching and maintenance actions \(Day 2\), or life-cycle operations like starting, stopping, or deprovisioning.
