Drift Detection + Remediation

Drift Detection + Remediation helps you continuously compare real infrastructure against your IaC definitions, detect unexpected changes, and drive remediation through the same PR-based workflow your team already uses.

Prerequisites:

• Set up your OpenTaco account
• Set up GitHub App
• A working PR Automation setup with a functional GitHub Actions workflow
