But in practice, your real-world infrastructure almost always diverges from your code. Someone makes a manual change in the AWS console, a security team patches a security group, an autoscaler launches instances outside your Terraform state, or a team member deletes a resource directly. These are all examples of <strong>infrastructure drift</strong> — the gap between what your IaC says should exist and what actually exists in your cloud environment.</p>
