How to Detect and Manage Terraform Drift

Managing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is crucial in today's cloud-based world, and Terraform is a popular tool for this purpose. However, infrastructure drift can occur due to manual changes, overlapping responsibilities of automation tools, or user scripts. These drifts pose risks such as security vulnerabilities, compliance violations, performance issues, operational difficulties, and higher costs. Spacelift offers monitoring and intuitive UI to highlight the drifts and automate reconciliation if needed. Understanding and reconciling drifts involve identifying desired or undesired changes and taking appropriate actions like importing configurations under Terraform management scope or reinstating original states using "terraform apply."
