Non-CIS Reference Architecture with CIS Subscription

Answer

I am a CIS subscriber, but I want to launch a non-CIS Reference Architecture for a project that does not require compliance. However, when I set `UsingCISCompliance: false` in my `reference-architecture-form.yml`, the pre-flight check rejects it. How can I launch a non-CIS Reference Architecture in this case? --- <ins datetime="2022-06-23T18:48:40Z"> <p><a href="https://support.gruntwork.io/hc/requests/108822">Tracked in ticket #108822</a></p> </ins>

If you are certain that you'd rather deploy a standard non-CIS compliant Reference Architecture despite having paid for the CIS add-on, you can use our "hidden" form field `ForceStandardRefArch`. To do so, add the following field at the very bottom of your `reference-architecture-form.yml` file, on its own line, like so: ... `ForceStandardRefArch: true`
