Claim 0:
1. A method of managing configuration data for managed network devices, the method comprising:
receiving, by an application programming interface (API) server device from a controller device that manages the managed network devices via a network that communicatively couples the controller device to the API server device, configuration data to be deployed to at least one of the managed network devices, the API server device being separate from the controller device;
storing, by the API server device, the configuration data to a configuration database device via the network, wherein the network communicatively couples the API server device to the configuration database device, the configuration database device being separate from the controller device, and the configuration database device being separate from the API server device;
partitioning, by the API server device, 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
sending, by the API server device, the configuration data to the at least one of the managed network devices via the network, wherein the network communicatively couples the API server device to the managed network devices, the API server device being separate from the managed network devices.
