Observability Control Framework (OCF)

A Cloud-Native Observability Governance Framework Built on OpenTelemetry & CNCF Best Practices

The Observability Control Framework (OCF) provides structured best practices, operational controls, and governance models for implementing logs, metrics, traces, and event-driven observability in modern cloud-native environments.

---

Why OCF?

OpenTelemetry-Centric – Built around OpenTelemetry (OTel) for vendor-neutral observability.
Cloud-Native Focus – Designed for Kubernetes, microservices, serverless, and distributed systems.
Scalable & Actionable – Provides clear observability controls, automation strategies, and incident response frameworks.

What’s Inside?

Standardized Observability Controls for identifying, instrumenting, collecting, detecting, responding, and optimizing telemetry data.
Integration with CNCF & OpenTelemetry Best Practices for unified cloud monitoring.
Actionable Guidance for Logs, Metrics, Traces, and Events to enhance visibility, reliability, and performance monitoring.
