Salt is great for generating configs based on jinja templates, and you can use napalm in conjunction with salt to push the configs to the device on a set schedule (typically this is done hourly). If manual changes are made to the router, salt would override them on the next run, so it's a great way to make sure configs are consistent.

Short of complete SDN, for those of you that have some degree of configuration templating and/or automation tools what is it that you run? I'm envisioning some sort of tool that let's me define template snippets of configuration and aids in their deployment to devices. I'm okay doing the heaving lifting in defining everything, I'm just looking for the tool that stitches it together and hopefully makes things a little less error prone for those who aren't as adept.
