<a name="features-and-benefits"></a>

 The solution provides the following features: 

 **Save development time** 

 Leverage the Media2Cloud on AWS solution out-of-the-box or as a reference implementation for building a serverless framework to accelerate setting up and configuring the content ingestion process. 

 **Simple user interface** 

 The solution creates a web interface that makes it easy to upload, browse, and search your video and image files and extracted metadata. 

 **Integration with Service Catalog AppRegistry and Application Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager** 

 This solution includes a [Service Catalog AppRegistry](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/intro-app-registry.html) resource to register the solution's CloudFormation template and its underlying resources as an application in both Service Catalog AppRegistry and [Application Manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/application-manager.html). With this integration, you can centrally manage the solution's resources and enable application search, reporting, and management actions.
