Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of an application programming interface (API) server device that distributes configuration data to managed network devices to:
receive, via a network, configuration data to be deployed to at least one of the managed network devices from a controller device that manages the managed network devices, the network communicatively coupling the API server device to the controller device, the API server device being separate from the controller device;
store, via the network, the configuration data to a configuration database device, the network communicatively coupling the API server device to the configuration database device, the configuration database being separate from the controller device, and the configuration database being separate from the API server device;
partition the configuration database into a plurality of slices, each of the slices representing configuration data for the managed network devices for a corresponding period of time; and
send, via the network, the configuration data to the at least one of the managed network devices, the network communicatively coupling the API server device to the managed network devices, the API server device being separate from the managed network devices.
