Drift Detection is a feature in Terraform Cloud that continuously checks infrastructure state to detect and notify operators of any changes outside of the tracked and versioned workflows, helping organizations manage their infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Drift occurs when someone changes infrastructure outside of the tracked workflows, creating untracked differences between the actual infrastructure and its recorded state, which can lead to unexpected issues such as application crashes, deployments failing, and wasted costs. Drift Detection in Terraform Cloud provides a single source of truth, enabling teams to increase efficiency while reducing risk related to security, compliance, and operational consistency. The feature detects changes in resources, notifies the right infrastructure owners with customizable notifications, and allows remediation directly from the Terraform Drift tab. With its public beta phase complete, the feature has been refined with UI improvements, including new views such as a "Drift" designation in workspace index listings and additional context on drift detection, making it easier for organizations to reap the benefits of infrastructure as code.
