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.
