# Deployments for versioned Amazon Managed Rules rule groups
<a name="waf-managed-rule-groups-deployments"></a>

This section introduces how Amazon deploys updates to Amazon Managed Rules rule groups.

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

**Note**  
This section applies only to Amazon Managed Rules rule groups that are versioned. The only rule groups that aren't versioned are the IP reputation rule groups.
