Additional information: The concept of Provide a Service Catalog in IT architecture decision-making involves creating a comprehensive list of all the services that an organization offers to its customers or clients. This catalog provides a clear and concise description of each service, including its features, benefits, and pricing. By having a service catalog, customers can easily find the services they need and understand what they are getting. It also helps organizations to manage their services more efficiently, prioritize their resources, and make informed decisions about service offerings. The service catalog can be made available online or in print, and it can be updated regularly to reflect changes in the organization's services.

Example: Decision: Chosen option: "Backstage", because we don't want to reimplement the tooling, we want something opensource and Backstage is now a CNCF project.
Rationale: As a transparent and open cloud we need a simple yet complete way of displaying services that are available on our platform, their current status, support path etc.

eira:adr_context: The context explains why we need to make a decision. It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons.

eira:adr_decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how.

eira:adr_status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)]

eira:adr_consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
