Detect and remediate configuration drift — when real infrastructure diverges from your IaC definitions.
Five passes over the same idea, each from a different angle. Do them in order, or jump to whichever you need.
Drift occurs when actual infrastructure state differs from the IaC definition. Causes: manual changes, external tools, or incomplete imports. Detection: terraform plan, Pulumi preview, Azure Resource Graph queries. Remediation strategies: auto-fix, alert and review, or reconcile in code. Prevention through RBAC and policy.
