<p>Returns information about a stack drift detection operation. A stack drift detection operation detects whether a stack's actual configuration differs, or has <i>drifted</i>, from it's expected configuration, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. A stack is considered to have drifted if one or more of its resources have drifted. For more information about stack and resource drift, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-stack-drift.html">Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources</a>.</p> <p>Use <a>DetectStackDrift</a> to initiate a stack drift detection operation. <code>DetectStackDrift</code> returns a <code>StackDriftDetectionId</code> you can use to monitor the progress of the operation using <code>DescribeStackDriftDetectionStatus</code>. Once the drift detection operation has completed, use <a>DescribeStackResourceDrifts</a> to return drift information about the stack and its resources.</p>
