GitHub Action: atmos-terraform-drift-detection

This Github Action is used to detect drift

Introduction

warning

Deprecated. Migrate to Atmos Native CI.

This action is deprecated in favor of Atmos Native CI. See the migration guide at https://atmos.tools/deprecated/github-actions/atmos-terraform-drift-detection for the equivalent built-in approach (a scheduled workflow running atmos terraform plan) and how to move your workflow over.

This Github Action is used to detect drift.

It will create or update github issue once drift is detect.

It is expected to run this action in a workflow with a scheduled run.

There is another companion action github-action-atmos-terraform-drift-remediation.
