It does seem like network configuration remains rather manual compared to other large scale systems that include more automation.

In Microsoft's case, the remediation is not to put in place higher level systems to safely accomplish the goal of the command. Instead:

- "We have blocked highly impactful commands from getting executed on the devices (Completed)"

- "We will require all command execution on the devices to follow safe change guidelines (Estimated completion: February 2023)"

Requiring commands to follow guidelines sounds suspiciously like they're requiring network ops not to break things.
