A policy-driven catalog entry is created including a corresponding set of questions to determine how the end user intends to use their environment. The end user makes a request which contains answers to the set of questions. Answers contained in the end user request are applied to a set of rules for determining a particular deployment option, and resources are deployed using the determined deployment option.
