Overview of the standard deployments for AWS Managed Rules

AWS rolls out new AWS Managed Rules functionality using three standard deployment stages: release candidate, static version, and default version.

The following diagram depicts these standard deployments. Each is described in more detail in the sections that follow.

Four vertical swimlanes show different standard deployment stages. The leftmost swimlane shows the default version set to the recommended static version 1.4. The second swimlane shows the default set to a release candidate (RC) version for testing and tuning. The RC version contains 1.4 rules and RC rules. A note indicates that after testing, the default is returned to the recommended static version. The third swimlane shows the creation of a static version 1.5 from the rules in the release candidate version. The fourth swimlane shows the default version set to the new recommended static version 1.5.
