1. A system to monitor drift in code branches associated with virtualized containers of cellular services, comprising:
a processor in electronic communication with a non-transitory memory, the processor configured to run a virtual platform comprising a configuration of core network components in a virtual plane associated with a network slice, wherein the virtual plane includes a plurality of network functions and microservices, wherein the virtual plane comprises a development test environment for developing instructional sets comprising branch code;
a development application to configure the instructional sets comprising the branch code for associating with the virtualized containers, wherein the virtualized containers run on the processor and clone the network functions and microservices of the cellular services;
a drift monitoring tool that, based on simulations from tests of the developed branch code executed with the virtualized containers, provides data regarding the drift caused by the branch code to operations of the network functions and microservices; and
a graphical user interface that displays parameters related to a tested impact of the developed branch code prior to deployment of the developed branch code in virtualized containers running on the processor.
