Abstract
Systems and methods described herein enable a runtime orchestration platform to deploy network configurations without degrading network performance or causing a network outage. According to one implementation, a network device receives a linked descriptor for deploying a network configuration in a network. The linked descriptor includes a first artifact associated with the network configuration, a unique artifact identifier for the first artifact, a network level identifier for the first artifact, and a link identifier of one or more second artifacts that are associated with the network configuration. The link identifier corresponds to a different network level than the network level identifier for the first artifact. The network device determines, based on information in the linked descriptor, if deployment of the first artifact will cause performance degradation in the network and prevents deployment of the network configuration when deployment of the first artifact will cause performance degradation in the network.
