CloudFormation DriftΒΆ

  • But it doesn't protect you against manual configuration changes
  • How do we know if our resources have drifted?

  • We can use CloudFormation drift

    • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-stack-drift-resource-list.html

In order to detect the drift, we can choose it under stack actions.
