In cloud-native environments, infrastructure is in constant flux. Teams move fast, leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), ephemeral resources, and automation to iterate quickly. But speed brings a cost: configuration drift. The solution isn’t to slow teams down—it’s to treat drift as a part of modern delivery. That means building practices for detection, context, and remediation directly into how infrastructure is shipped. Drift becomes just another signal to act on—not a hidden liability.

Learn how CloudFormation drift detection identifies unmanaged AWS changes. This guide covers drift statuses, common causes, and best practices for maintaining infrastructure as code (IaC) consistency.
