Config Management - which tool is right for you?
Hello!
There is an IT infrastructure. There is a network-team with its own Cisco/Mikrotik/etc and there is a server-team with its own servers/tools.
Each "side" has its own accesses and ACLs. Accordingly, when changing in the network-team, you need to duplicate everything on the server-team side. Plus, sometimes within the framework of a command, it happens that the left hand has changed something and the right hand has not reported.
Please advise what approaches/tools/practices to "defeat" this sometimes_arising_chaos? :)

Drive everyone into one ansible. Or two different ansibles, and inventory with accesses and ACLs in a separate git-rep, connected by a submodule to both ansibles.
administrative methods. All work must be documented.
Bureaucracy, where to go.
you can look towards RANCID - 1) centralized storage of configs; 2) by krone every hour or two diff in the mail on the team and all current changes will be visible, regardless of who made them
