About:
driftctl is a command-line tool that detects, tracks, and alerts on infrastructure drift by comparing your actual cloud resources with your Terraform state. It helps teams identify unauthorized changes and maintain infrastructure as code consistency. The tool supports major cloud providers and integrates into CI/CD pipelines for proactive monitoring.
Key Features:
  • Detects drift between cloud infrastructure and Terraform state
  • Supports AWS, Azure, and GCP providers
  • Provides human-readable diffs and security analysis
  • Integrates with CI/CD workflows and alerting systems
  • Open-source with a focus on developer experience
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring production infrastructure for unauthorized changes
  • Auditing compliance and security posture in IaC environments
  • Preventing configuration drift during multi-team deployments
Alternatives:
  • Terraform Cloud – Offers managed state and drift detection but is a paid SaaS platform
  • Cloud Custodian – Focuses on policy enforcement across cloud resources rather than IaC drift detection
