In this episode of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the emerging practice of Network Configuration as Code (NCaC). They explore how treating network configurations like software code — with version control, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines — can eliminate configuration drift and reduce human error. The hosts break down a real-world example: a 2025 outage at a major cloud provider caused by a missing VLAN tag in a YAML file, which could have been caught with a simple syntax check. They discuss the role of tools like Ansible, Terraform, and Batfish in validating configurations before deployment, and why traditional CLI-driven changes are becoming too risky for modern networks. The episode also touches on the cultural shift required for networking teams to adopt software engineering practices. By the end, listeners will understand how NCaC brings reliability and auditability to network operations, and why it's becoming essential for any organization running complex infrastructure. #NetworkConfigurationAsCode #NetworkAutomation #NetworkEngineering #InfrastructureAsCode #DevOpsForNetworks #CLIIsDead #YAML #Ansible #Terraform #Batfish #ConfigurationDrift #GitForNetworks #CI_CD #OutagePrevention #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
