A device may receive CNF data identifying a CNF to be deployed in a network. The device may perform multiple levels of validation associated with deploying the CNF. The device may determine, based on performing the multiple levels of validation, whether one or more issues are associated with deploying the CNF in the network. The one or more issues may include one or more of: a connectivity issue, a package issue, a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) issue, or a network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) issue. The device may perform one or more actions based on determining whether the one or more issues are associated with the deploying the CNF in the network.

Systems and methods for validating a container network function for deployment

A device may receive CNF data identifying a CNF to be deployed in a network and a configuration of the CNF and may validate connectivity between resources to be utilized to deploy the CNF to generate connectivity data indicating whether one or more connectivity issues exist. The device may validate packages to be utilized to deploy the CNF to generate package data indicating whether one or more package issues exist and may validate an NFVO to be utilized to deploy the CNF to generate NFVO data indicating whether one or more NFVO issues exist. The device may validate an NFVI to be utilized to deploy the CNF to generate NFVI data indicating whether one or more NFVI issues exist and may determine whether one or more issues are associated with deploying the CNF based on the connectivity data, the package data, the NFVO data, and the NFVI data.
