Abstract
A method, version server, and non-transitory computer readable medium for configuring a network device. Configuring the network device may include obtaining, by a version server, a first configuration action; matching, by the version server, the first configuration action to a first entry of an action database of the version server; and sending, by the version server, a version controlled configuration action of the first entry.

A method of configuring a network device, comprising:
- obtaining, by a version server, a first configuration action;
- matching, by the version server, the first configuration action to a first entry of an action database of the version server;
- and
- sending, by the version server, a version controlled configuration action of the first entry.
A version server, comprising:
- an action database stored on a storage of the version server;
- and
- a version generator configured to generate a version controlled action based on a configuration update of a network device,
- wherein the action database comprises entries that specify actions used in a process of configuring a server,
- wherein each entry of the action database is associated with a state of the server after the action of the entry is performed.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- obtain a first configuration action;
- match the first configuration action to a first entry of an action database;
- and
- send a version controlled configuration action of the first entry.
