Presentation Overview

As networks evolve from 5G to 6G, operational complexity is increasing beyond what traditional manual and reactive troubleshooting can effectively manage. Distributed, cloud-native network functions serve millions of concurrent subscribers while operating under stringent latency and reliability requirements.

This session presents a practical framework for building operational resilience through integrated observability and closed-loop automation.

Topics Include

• Observability Architecture for Network Functions – Metrics, structured logs, and distributed traces for cloud-native 5G/6G cores, with implementation patterns using Prometheus, the ELK Stack, and OpenTelemetry.

• Real-World Incident Case Study – Detecting and diagnosing failures across virtualized network function chains, including control-plane and user-plane troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.

• Automation & Orchestration Patterns – Closed-loop remediation, GitOps-based network automation, and CI/CD integration using Kubernetes, Argo, and Terraform.

• Operational Maturity Model – The evolution from traditional manual network operations to SRE and AIOps, including the technical and organizational requirements at each stage.

Key Takeaway

Observability and automation are not optional for next-generation networks—they are architectural requirements for operating 5G/6G infrastructure reliably at scale.
