A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to a secure operations, administration, and management (OAM) for remote networks service. The service may categorize performance metric (PM), fault metric (FM) data, and other types of data associated with a virtualized network device of a private network and provide such data to an OAM system of an operator network via a blockchain network or not based on the categorization. The OAM system may also manage orchestration and maintenance of the private network including the virtualized network device based on configuration data transmitted via the blockchain network or not. The virtualized network device may be a radio access network device, a core network device, or an edge server device. The secure OAM for remote networks service may also store service assurance policies as a smart contract in the blockchain network.
