We have an ansible role that applies the CIS Distro Independent Linux 2 
baseline when we launch new machines. We also have an ansible tower workflow 
for regularly scheduled patching. At the end of the patching workflow we again 
run the CIS baseline role to ensure we are maintaining compliance with our 
secure configuration baseline.

stop machine -> snapshot -> start machine -> patch -> reboot -> test -> 
snapshot -> secure config -> reboot

if patching fails we revert to the starting snapshot.
if secure config fails we revert to the post-test snapshot.

All of this is done via ansible automation platform.

Good Afternoon,
  I was wondering what you all are doing to manage configuration drift.  Are 
you having ansible  fix the drift, are you having it notify you of the drift, 
or are you doing something else.  At work, we are preparing to start having 
some conversations about what we want to do, and I thought this information 
from you all might be helpful in our journey.

Thanks for your time!!
