+
+# Prerequisites
+
+Before implementing the resource self-service solution, ensure you have the following integrations and ownership setup in place.
+
+## Required integrations
+
+### Cloud providers
+Install at least one of the following cloud provider integrations:
+
+- **[AWS integration](/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/cloud-providers/aws)** - For EC2, RDS, S3, and other AWS services
+- **[Azure integration](/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/cloud-providers/azure)** - For Azure VMs, Storage, and databases
+- **[GCP integration](/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/cloud-providers/gcp)** - For Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, and Cloud SQL
+
+### Container orchestration
+Choose your container platform:
+
+- **[Kubernetes integration](/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/kubernetes)** - For namespace and workload management
+- **[ArgoCD integration](/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/kubernetes/argocd)** - For GitOps-based deployments
+
+## Setup ownership
+
+### Team structure
+Ensure clear ownership hierarchy:
+
+1. **Platform team** - Owns templates, policies, and governance
+2. **Engineering managers** - Approve team resource requests
+3. **Developers** - Request and manage their resources
+
+
+
+### Setup ownership
+
+1. **[Setup catalog ownership in Port](/build-your-software-catalog/set-catalog-rbac/examples#teams-and-ownership)** - Configure team ownership for your software catalog entities
+
+2. **[Setup cloud ownership](/build-your-software-catalog/sync-data-to-catalog/cloud-providers/)** - Configure ownership tracking for your cloud resources
+
+## Verification checklist
+
+Before proceeding, verify:
+
+- [ ] At least one cloud provider integration is active
+- [ ] Container platform integration is configured (if using containers)
+- [ ] IaC integration is connected (if using Terraform/Pulumi)
+- [ ] Port teams are created and users are assigned
+- [ ] Team ownership hierarchy is defined
+- [ ] Cloud ownership is configured for your resources
+
+Once these prerequisites are met, you can proceed to configure the solution for each persona.
