Change Tracking

Track what changed in your AWS environment since a baseline snapshot.

Basic Delta

# Compare current state to a snapshot
awsinv delta --snapshot my-baseline

# Show field-level diff
awsinv delta --snapshot my-baseline --show-diff

What the Delta Shows

  • New resources created since the snapshot
  • Deleted resources that no longer exist
  • Modified resources with field-level configuration changes

The --show-diff flag provides before/after values for each changed field, with color-coded terminal output.

JSON Export for CI/CD

awsinv delta --snapshot my-baseline --output changes.json

This produces a structured JSON file suitable for CI/CD pipeline integration, containing arrays of added, removed, and modified resources.
