Configuration drift repair with coding agents

Configuration drift repair with coding agents relies on comparing observed infrastructure and service settings against trusted, documented baselines while recognizing that detected differences do not automatically authorize changes. Effective workflows identify authoritative sources for each setting, collect read-only and sanitized drift evidence, classify differences such as unauthorized changes, approved emergency changes, or provider-generated values, and avoid overly broad ignore rules. Remediation should either update code to preserve an approved live change or deploy a narrowly scoped, reviewed patch that restores the declared baseline, with policy checks, infrastructure plans, and human approval retained as required safeguards. Validation includes rerunning formatting, policy, and planning checks, closely reviewing potentially high-impact changes, confirming convergence after authorized deployment, and investigating persistent drift caused by provider defaults or competing management systems. Long-term reliability depends on addressing the underlying causes through stronger permissions, improved procedures, documentation, and scheduled detection.
