8. A version control server, comprising:
-
an action database stored on a storage of the version control 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 and each entry of the action database is associated with a state of the server after the action of the entry is performed, and wherein the version control server is configured to; obtain, from an identification server, a configuration action; identify an existing entry of the action database associated with the configuration action; generate a new entry of the action database based at least in part on the configuration action; and associate the new entry with the existing entry. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
