Why #InfrastructureAsCode in networking?
(A thread, since I am often asked what's the fuss)

When we think hard about data models and manage to represent networks (or services) as 'code' in text files, we're able to utilize git and benefit from the best software dev practices.
1⃣ Configuration and Documentation in One Place

Those text files describing the desired state of a network/service ARE the documentation at the same time. Or, as these files are machine-readable, it’s easy to autogenerate pretty & enriched documentation pages, e.g. via markdown.
2⃣ Versioning

The ultimate answer to the “Who changed what, when, where, why?” is already built in. No need to deal with date- or version-based file name suffixes, ever again.
