Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for network device configuration update. A method includes selecting a group of network devices to receive a configuration update; ranking the network devices according to an importance; updating each of the network devices in order of the ranking, from least important to most important, comprising: generating a first health score for the network device, the first health score representing a performance level of the network device prior to the configuration update; updating a configuration of the network device according to the configuration update subsequent to generating the first health score; generating a second health score for the updated network device subsequent to updating the configuration of the network device; and responsive to the second health score being lower than the first health score by more than a predetermined score threshold, rolling back the configuration update for the network devices that have been updated.
