How to Investigate Terraform Drift Caused by a Managed Service Update

A provider or managed service can change defaults or resource attributes outside the team’s explicit configuration.

Checks to make

Compare drift with service release notes and cloud audit history, identify whether the change is expected, and update configuration or apply a reviewed correction. Avoid forcing the old setting until security and compatibility effects are understood.
