Cloudskiff provides drift detection for infrastructure as code (IaC) by identifying changes made outside the IaC workflow, which can lead to configuration drift and compliance issues. Their open-source tool, driftctl, enables DevOps and cloud engineers to maintain the desired state of their cloud environments, ensuring security and operational integrity.

Problem
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) environments are susceptible to configuration drift, where the actual state of cloud resources diverges from the defined IaC templates due to manual changes or external processes. This drift introduces security vulnerabilities, compliance violations, and operational inconsistencies.
Solution
Driftctl, an open-source tool, addresses the challenge of configuration drift by continuously monitoring cloud infrastructure and detecting discrepancies between the declared IaC state and the actual deployed resources. It scans cloud environments, identifies any modifications made outside the IaC workflow, and reports these deviations, providing DevOps and cloud engineers with visibility into unauthorized changes. By identifying and remediating drift, organizations can maintain the integrity of their infrastructure, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The tool supports major public clouds and popular IaC tools.
Target Audience
DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, security teams, and compliance officers responsible for managing and maintaining cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.
