driftctl is a free and open-source CLI that scans cloud providers (AWS, GitHub, Azure, GCP), maps resources against Terraform code, and detects infrastructure drift and unmanaged resources. It measures infrastructure-as-code coverage and warns about discrepancies between declared and actual infrastructure.

Use cases

  • detect terraform drift in aws infrastructure
  • find cloud resources not managed by terraform
  • measure infrastructure as code coverage
  • alert when someone changes infra via the console
  • track unmanaged resources across aws azure gcp
  • audit infrastructure drift in ci pipeline

When to choose

  • you use terraform and want to catch manual console changes
  • you need a lightweight CLI to scan for drift and unmanaged resources
  • you want IaC coverage metrics for AWS, GitHub, Azure, or GCP

When to avoid

  • you use OpenTofu/Pulumi/CloudFormation instead of Terraform
  • you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode
  • you want continuous drift monitoring with a hosted dashboard rather than a CLI
