Using the Event-driven method for fetching your IaC stacks ensures that Firefly refreshes your assets in the inventory in near real-time as soon as they change. This method is the optimal choice for maintaining an up-to-date inventory of your assets.
To use the event-driven service, enable CloudTrail in your AWS account.
Select Enable IaC Auto-Discovery to allow Firefly to scan your cloud for new Terraform state files.
By setting up S3 Event Notifications for Terraform State Files, Firefly can monitor updates to your IaC stacks stored in S3 buckets and optimize the IaC status in the system.
