Drift Detection

Compares your declared infrastructure (manifests, Terraform) against what is actually running and reports differences with severity and probable cause.

Usage

# Kubernetes drift detection
valqore drift detect --manifests k8s/ --context prod-cluster
 
# Terraform drift detection
valqore drift detect --terraform ./infrastructure --state terraform.tfstate
 
# Filter by severity
valqore drift detect --manifests k8s/ --min-severity high

Via MCP:

"Check for drift in the production cluster"
→ Claude calls detect_drift({ source: "k8s", context: "prod" })
