## Drift Detection for GitLab

[Drift Detection](https://docs.gruntwork.io/2.0/docs/pipelines/concepts/drift-detection/) is now fully supported on GitLab, bringing the same set of [capabilities](https://docs.gruntwork.io/2.0/docs/pipelines/guides/running-drift-detection) GitHub users have enjoyed. This includes:

- On-demand drift detection runs
- Scheduled drift detection runs
- Automated drift remediation plans/applies
- Advanced filtering for both on-demand and scheduled runs

Drift Detection is available now with the [GitLab v2](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/pipelines-gitlab-actions/releases/tag/v2.0.0) release. To update, follow our [migration guide](https://docs.gruntwork.io/2.0/docs/pipelines/previous-versions/upgrading-gitlab-v1-to-v2). To start using Drift Detection, [follow the steps in this guide](https://docs.gruntwork.io/2.0/docs/pipelines/guides/installing-drift-detection#step-2---set-up-the-workflow-file) to update your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file and then create a new drift detection pipeline.
