Azure Drift is a monitoring tool for administrators and DevOps teams managing cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. It automatically detects configuration changes and security policy violations, helping maintain operational consistency and compliance.

• Automated Configuration Monitoring: Continuously scans Azure subscriptions to compare resource states against defined baselines or security policies.
• Change Detection and Alerting: Identifies configuration drift and sends immediate notifications through channels like email or Slack.
• Compliance Reporting: Generates reports detailing changes over time, aiding in audit preparation and policy adherence.
• Drift Remediation Guidance: Provides context on detected changes, including steps to revert or approve configurations.
• Integration with Azure Services: Works natively within Azure, pulling data from Azure Resource Manager and aligning with services like Azure Policy.
