Similarly, on the infrastructure provisioning side, IaC tools - which are usually declarative - are a great fit for observing and managing drifts. Tools such as OpenTofu, Hashicorp Terraform, or AWS CloudFormation use declarative templates to define the environment's state. This provides the option to detect drift by comparing the current state of resources to the defined infrastructure in the code.

Cloud providers offer services to detect, manage, and remediate configuration drift in their environments. Because cloud environments often become large and complex, services such as AWS Config, Azure Policy, and Workload Manager Evaluation can help continuously monitor and evaluate cloud resources and their configurations according to rules.
