Network Digital Twins (NDTs) enable safe what-if analysis for 6G cloud–edge infrastructures, but adoption is often limited by fragmented workflows from telemetry to validation. We present a data-driven NDT framework that extends 6GTWIN with a scalable pipeline for cloud–edge telemetry aggregation and semantic alignment into unified data models. Our contributions include: (i) scalable cloud–edge telemetry collection, (ii) regime-aware feature engineering capturing the network’s scaling behavior, and (iii) a validation methodology based on Sign Agreement and Directional Sensitivity. Evaluated on a Kubernetes-managed cluster, the framework extrapolates performance to unseen high-load regimes. Results show both Deep Neural Network (DNN) and XGBoost achieve high regression accuracy (R2 > 0.99), while the XGBoost model delivers superior directional reliability (Sa > 0.90), making the NDT a trustworthy tool for proactive resource scaling in out-of-distribution scenarios.
