Can I modify or request changes to a Ref Arch deployment when it is in-flight?
A customer asked: > After my Reference Architecture deployment has started, can I make or request changes to the code / configuration? --- <ins datetime="2022-06-08T14:32:35Z"> <p><a href="https://support.gruntwork.io/hc/requests/108725">Tracked in ticket #108725</a></p> </ins>
We are able to offer the Reference Architecture at a flat rate for very low cost because we have standardized the process. This means that we can’t accommodate customizations in/during the deployment process. If you would like us to do this, we can refer you to one of our partners who can offers consulting services to customize the Reference Architecture to your needs. Please also keep in mind that our deployment infrastructure is designed to constantly re-generate your code throughout the lifecycle of a deployment, which means you are unlikely to see your changes persist correctly if you make them once your deployment has already commenced. **Furthermore, please understand that if you make changes to your Reference Architecture's configuration after your deployment has commenced which end up breaking our deployment process, we'll unfortunately be unable to complete your deployment and will need to ask you to take over responsibility for it.** Please see our [legal terms of service](https://www.gruntwork.io/legal/terms/#2-2-deployment) section regarding this scenario: > 2.2. Deployment. Gruntwork will implement and deploy a standardized architecture for use with the cloud provider (e.g. Amazon Web Services) that you selected during registration (the "Reference Architecture") based on the requirements you specify via an online form, verbal discussion, or other mutually acceptable means. If you update the Reference Architecture code or change your configuration preferences while we are deploying, we may be unable to complete the deployment.
