1. A method for cellular communications observability of a cellular network system, the method comprising:
employing containerized applications to deploy a cellular network that utilizes clusters for virtual network functions of the cellular network;
identifying a plurality of domains of the cellular network, wherein the plurality of domains are managed by multiple vendors and comprise a core of the cellular network, physical hardware components of the cellular network, and the clusters;
collecting, using an observability layer of the cellular network, data from the plurality of domains of the cellular network, wherein the observability layer is located on a public network of the cellular network and connected to at least one of the virtual network functions of the cellular network;
aggregating, by the observability layer, the data according to configuration information of the clusters;
ingesting the data in real-time from the observability layer using a streaming platform data store of the cellular network for short term storage that is separate from long term storage, wherein the data is stored in an original format in a specified area of the streaming platform data store according to the configuration information and a type of the data and is segmented in the streaming platform data store by time;
receiving, at the streaming platform data store and from an application associated with the cellular network, a request for real-time data from short term storage; and
distributing the data in the original format to the application from the streaming platform data store based on the request.
