catalog has a unique name, a description, and a collection of solutions.
Form Schema
Form Schema builds on
JSON schema form
which is an open source schema written in JSON for specifying and validating a

template-based solutions before launching the solutions.

A solution can be one of the following:
Reference link
Cloud Deployment Manager (DM) template
