Harnessing AI to Simplify Cloud Configuration Drift Detection

Cloud environments are dynamic by nature; they frequently change and update configurations. Unless these changes are carefully tracked, they could lead to configuration drift, a situation in which the runtime state of a resource deviates from its intended baseline configuration. Configuration drift can have severe consequences, potentially introducing security vulnerabilities, degrading system performance, and violating compliance requirements.  Manual configuration drift management in large, multi-cloud environments is inefficient and prone to human error. AI helps to…
