1. A method for performing health monitoring of cellular network functions in a cloud-computing environment, the method comprising:
receiving, by a cellular network health monitoring system, selection of a cloud computing region from a plurality of cloud computing regions for analysis from a user via a user interface, wherein
a cellular network core is implemented on a cloud computing platform that comprises the plurality of cloud computing regions that includes the cloud computing region;
receiving, by the cellular network health monitoring system, selection of a cellular core function from a plurality of cellular core functions for analysis from the user via the user interface, wherein
the plurality of cellular core functions is executed within the cloud computing region on the cloud computing platform;
identifying, by the cellular network health monitoring system, a plurality of pods of the cellular core function executed within the cloud computing region;
performing, by the cellular network health monitoring system, a customized test query based on the input of the cellular core function; and
outputting, by the cellular network health monitoring system, a report comprising statues of the plurality of pods of the cellular core function based on the customized test query, wherein the report comprises for each pod of the plurality of pods:
a name; status; a number of restarts; an age, and a name of a node of the cloud computing platform executing the pod.
