 If you manually destroy infrastructure, Terraform will automatically detect the change and update the state file during the next plan or apply. Terraform compares the current state of the infrastructure with the desired state in the configuration and generates a plan to reconcile the differences. If a resource is missing from the infrastructure but still exists in the state file, Terraform will attempt to recreate it. If a resource is present in the infrastructure but not in the state file, Terraform will ignore it unless you use the terraform import command to bring it under Terraform’s management. References = [Terraform State]

The terraform refresh-only command is intended to detect state file drift. This command synchronizes the state file with the actual infrastructure, updating the state to reflect any changes that have occurred outside of Terraform.

From terraform plan -refresh-only:

"Use this to detectdrift, i.e., changes made outside of Terraform."

It compares actual infrastructure to what's recorded in the state file.

Sentinel is a policy-as-code framework that integrates with Terraform Cloud to enforce security, compliance, and governance rules. You can enforce rules such as approved AMIs and ensure security best practices. Policies are written in the Sentinel language, not HCL.
