# Adding products
<a name="portfoliomgmt-products"></a>

 You can add products to a portfolio by uploading a new product directly to an existing portfolio or by associating an existing product from your catalog to the portfolio. 

**Note**  
 When you create a AWS Service Catalog product, you can upload an CloudFormation template or Terraform configuration file. The CloudFormation template is stored in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket, and the bucket name begins with "***cf-templates-***." You also must have permission to retrieve objects from additional buckets when provisioning a product. For more information, see [Creating products](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/adminguide/productmgmt-cloudresource.html#productmgmt-cloudresource-troubleshooting).
