Config templates with Jinja2: one template, every device
Write the config once as a Jinja2 template, keep the per-device values in CSV or JSON, and let Python render a clean config for every switch and router. Then push it over SSH, and learn to fix the four errors every template pipeline hits: template not found, syntax errors, bad input data and silently missing variables.
