# Understand RFC change type classifications
<a name="ex-rfc-csio"></a>

The change types that you use when submitting an RFC are divided into two broad categories:
+ **Deployment**: This classification is for creating resources.
+  **Management**: This classification is for updating or deleting resources. The **Management** category also contains change types for accessing instances, encrypting or sharing AMIs, and starting,stopping,rebooting, or deleting stacks.
