As mobile networks advance, so do the use cases and quality demands they must meet, such as achieving “seven nines” reliability. Meeting these demands requires implementing intelligent and autonomous networks. Observability plays a crucial role in enabling data-driven Orchestration within this context. This paper presents Telco-Observer, an innovative solution tightly integrated with Management & Orchestration systems, designed to collect and provide efficient access to telemetry data across distributed cloud native edge environments. To the best of our knowledge, no existing solutions fully incorporate Observability at the Telco edge while supporting efficient Orchestration. Our performance evaluation demonstrates that Telco-Observer incurs minimal overhead while collecting a broad spectrum of telemetry signals and providing fast data access.
