Infrastructure Drift Detection & Remediation Workflow

Seed: IaC state snapshots, actual infra inventory, diff tool hints; example: compare terraform state vs cloud APIs

Implementation Guide

Create an automated drift detection pipeline that periodically compares declared IaC state to cloud-provider inventory, flags divergences, and optionally creates pull requests with proposed IaC changes or runbooks for remediation. Include tolerance rules, owners per resource, and audit logs. Provide safe remediation options (alert-only, PR, auto-apply with approvals) and telemetry to trend drift frequency for reliability engineering metrics.
