Can anyone explain the difference between Drift and Change Sets in AWS Cloudformation ?

Both seem to be list of changes that have occurred since the last time the Cloudformation Template was applied.

Thanks!

Change sets are changes based on a template that are about to be applied. Drift is changes that you've manually made to your infrastructure. So it's a drift between the original template and the state of the infrastructure.
