# Freeze Allocation

Freezing an allocation within Blimp will effectively deactivate all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations for that allocation, with the exception read functionalities.\
\
1\. Head to the Blimp website and choose your preferred allocation type (Multi-Cloud Storage, S3 Server, Cloud Migration).

**Note:** Freeze Allocation will forbid all type of operations on allocation and make it read-only.

4. Blimp will prompt you to confirm this action. Proceed by selecting "Freeze" to confirm.&#x20;
