driftarmor 0.2.0

Checkov-backed Azure Terraform plan implement coach (AKS / SQL / SQL MI / Storage / Managed Redis / Key Vault / ACR / Service Bus / VM / NSG / Front Door)

DriftArmor CLI

Local implement coach for Azure Terraform plans (check), plus a destructive-change gate on plan JSON (drift). Wraps Checkov custom policies for check and prints citation checklists with exit codes.

Active check packs (report order): AKS → Azure SQL → SQL Managed Instance → Storage → Managed Redis → Key Vault → ACR → Service Bus → VM → NSG → Front Door. drift groups the same way (plus Other for unmatched types).

Product / marketing site: driftarmor.net

drift is not live cloud drift detection. It classifies resource_changes from terraform show -json (create/update/delete/replace). It does not call Azure/AWS/GCP APIs or find unmanaged resources.

Install

pip install driftarmor

Requires Python 3.11+.

From source (contributors)

git clone https://github.com/kodias/driftarmor-cli.git
cd driftarmor-cli
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

checkov is a package dependency; pip install -e . is enough for a local editable install.

Usage

driftarmor -v
driftarmor --version

# From a Terraform module directory (runs plan + show -json; terraform on PATH)
driftarmor check --dir .
driftarmor drift --dir ./infra

# Existing show -json file
driftarmor check --plan plan.json
driftarmor check --plan plan.json --json
driftarmor check --plan plan.json --no-color

# Binary plan file from `terraform plan -out=tfplan` (runs show -json)
driftarmor check --plan tfplan
driftarmor drift --plan tfplan --json

# Or export JSON yourself
terraform plan -out=tfplan
terraform show -json tfplan > plan.json
driftarmor check --plan plan.json

Human output uses green / yellow / red on TTY. Colors disable when stdout is not a TTY, when NO_COLOR is set, or with --no-color. --json never uses ANSI.

Large plan files are loaded fully into memory (same as check).

Exit codes

Command	0	1	2
check	No matched packs, or no fail	One or more fail	Bad plan JSON / checkov or terraform missing / plan failed
drift	No delete/replace (creates/updates OK)	Any delete or replace	Bad plan JSON / unknown actions / terraform missing / plan failed

Providers

• check — Checkov policy packs (auto-detected from plan resources):
  • AKS — azurerm_kubernetes_cluster (+ node pools)
  • Azure SQL — azurerm_mssql_server / _database / _firewall_rule
  • SQL Managed Instance — azurerm_mssql_managed_instance
  • Storage — azurerm_storage_account (HTTPS, TLS, public blobs, network)
  • Managed Redis — azurerm_managed_redis
  • Key Vault — azurerm_key_vault (RBAC, purge protection, network)
  • ACR — azurerm_container_registry (local auth, anonymous pull, network)
  • Service Bus — azurerm_servicebus_namespace (auth, TLS, inline network rules)
  • VM — azurerm_linux_virtual_machine / azurerm_windows_virtual_machine
  • NSG — azurerm_network_security_group / azurerm_network_security_rule
  • Front Door — azurerm_cdn_frontdoor_profile / _firewall_policy / _security_policy
• drift — provider-agnostic plan-diff (any Terraform plan JSON); Service Bus queues, topics, subscriptions, and legacy standalone network rules are grouped with the Service Bus product even though they do not activate namespace checks
