Pulumi has launched a Drift Detection and Remediation feature aimed at tackling configuration drift in cloud infrastructures, a common challenge for platform teams. Configuration drift occurs when the actual state of cloud infrastructure deviates from its intended configuration, often due to manual changes or unintended script consequences, leading to security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, operational disruptions, and increased costs. The new feature automates the detection and correction of such drifts, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows and supporting over 180 providers, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Available in the Enterprise and Business Critical editions of Pulumi Cloud, Drift Detection continuously monitors infrastructure states, providing alerts and detailed reports on any discrepancies. Users can choose automatic remediation to align their infrastructure with the desired state or manage changes manually. The feature is configurable through the Pulumi Cloud console, existing CI/CD systems, or programmatically via the Pulumi Service Provider, offering enhanced security, compliance assurance, and cost efficiency by minimizing the risk of errors and potential outages.
