They appear when the operating model around infrastructure changes makes divergence easier than controlled promotion.</p> <p>I saw this in a regulated cloud environment where the Terraform setup had become harder to govern over time. Separate repositories, environment-specific branches, and fragmented workflows made it too easy for environments to drift apart.</p> <p>This was not just a maintainability issue. It made changes harder to track, promotion across environments less reliable, and left too much knowledge and control with the infrastructure team. As a result, self-service became harder to expand without weakening governance.</p>
