IaC drift
IaC drift is the gap that opens when someone changes infrastructure directly, for example in the cloud console, instead of through its infrastructure-as-code files. The code then no longer describes what is really running. Why it matters: Drifted resources can be silently reverted, or keep costing money nobody knows about.
