Terraform plan tells you what changed. It doesn't tell you what matters. In 5 minutes, I'll show how classifying drift by severity separating security group changes from tag updates cut our alert noise by 73% while catching 94% of security-relevant changes. Includes a live demo of tfdrift, the open-source tool I built to solve this.
I'm a DevOps engineer based in Chicago, working with AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes. I hold an MS in Computer Science from Illinois Institute of Technology. I built and maintains tfdrift, an open-source Terraform drift detection tool with severity classification, published on PyPI and used against real AWS infrastructure. I write about infrastructure automation and IaC on Dev.to and Hashnode.
