Deployments for versioned AWS Managed Rules rule groups

AWS deploys changes to its versioned AWS Managed Rules rule groups in three standard deployments: release candidate, static version, and default version. Additionally, AWS might sometimes need to release an exception deployment or roll back a default version deployment.

Note

This section applies only to AWS Managed Rules rule groups that are versioned. The rule groups that are not versioned are IP reputation, Bot Control, ATP, and ACFP rule groups.

Sign up for deployment notifications

For every deployment of a versioned rule group, AWS provides at least one SNS notification. In some cases, we also update the managed rule group description in this guide, the changelog for the AWS Managed Rules rule groups, and the document history page. To sign up for notifications, see Getting notified of new versions and updates to a managed rule group.
