AWS
CloudFormation Drift
CloudFormation stacks ranked by drift state, with per-resource property diffs for drifted stacks.
Live preview — demo data
What this pane shows
Every CloudFormation stack in the account with its current drift state. Drifted stacks expand to show the specific resources that differ, the affected properties, and the before/after values AWS detected. Stacks that have never had drift detection run are surfaced separately.
Key use cases
- Identify stacks where manual console changes have diverged from the template.
- Confirm a fleet-wide drift-check run completed cleanly.
- Investigate which properties were changed outside of CloudFormation.
- Audit drift across a portfolio of CloudFormation-managed accounts.
How to embed
lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime
(and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script;
the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.
<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/cfn-drift/cfn-drift.css">
<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>
<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-cfn-drift-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/cfn-drift/cfn-drift.js" defer></script>
