1. A network infrastructure management system comprising:
at least one memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, cause the at least one processor to:
configure a network infrastructure management console user interface for display at a first client device of a plurality of client devices wherein the plurality of client devices have access to configure one or more network switch stacks each comprising one or more network switches;
receive at a user interface backend component from the first client device, a first request from a user operating the network infrastructure management console user interface to configure a network switch stack;
receive at a monitoring component a notification of a current conductor switch of the network switch stack;
receive at the user interface backend component the notification of the current conductor switch;
store at the user interface backend component in a cache memory associated with the current conductor switch of the network switch stack one or more configuration changes of the first request;
transmit the one or more configuration changes of the first request from the user interface backend component to a configuration push component, wherein if the current conductor switch of the network switch stack has changed due to a failover event after the network infrastructure management console user interface is displayed at the first client device, the one or more configuration changes are written to a cache memory associated with a new current conductor switch and retrieved from the cache memory associated from the new current conductor switch prior to transmission; and
transmit the one or more configuration changes of the first request from the configuration push component to the network switch stack.
