1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a network device, a linked descriptor for deploying a network configuration in a network, the linked descriptor identifying:
a first artifact associated with the network configuration,
a unique artifact identifier for the first artifact,
a network level identifier for the first artifact,
a link identifier of one or more second artifacts that are associated with the network configuration, wherein the link identifier corresponds to a different network level than a network level of the network level identifier for the first artifact, and
a link length indicating the total number of network levels impacted by the network configuration deployment;
determining, by the network device and based on information in the linked descriptor and consensus of each of the network levels in the link length, if deployment of the first artifact will cause performance degradation in the network; and
preventing deployment of the network configuration when deployment of the first artifact will cause performance degradation in the network.
