Firewall Configurations Backup

Automated firewall configuration backup using Ansible and Python with Git-based version control across a multi-vendor environment.

The Challenge

Manual backup processes were inconsistent, creating risk of configuration loss and no audit trail for changes across 40+ firewall devices.

The Solution

Built Ansible playbooks and Python scripts to automatically retrieve and commit device configurations to a private Git repository on a daily schedule. Configured alerting for backup failures.

Outcome

Eliminated manual backup processes, enabled rapid rollback to any prior configuration, and provided a full audit trail for all device changes.
