Network Automation - Keeping state

Hi folks,

I am trying to automate the process of creating VPN tunnels to AWS when a VPC is deployed. It's been very time consuming for me. Am thinking of the following structure:

* A page where the app teams will just input their info (like Account, VPC name, etc) - RBAC is not a problem, and there's a validation process in place.

* I have IPAM automation ready with Infoblox through their API - so this is solved too (or at least easily solvable, done it before)

* Am coming across this fundamental questions: how do I keep state (i.e. configuration state, you know like in Terraform?) of the routers and firewalls?

There are many ways of doing this, but it'd be nice if someone that's done something similar could chime in.

Anyone ever done something like this? What tools are you using? To what extent are you automating?
