Event schemas in Event Grid on Kubernetes

  • Article

Event Grid on Kubernetes accepts and delivers events in JSON format. It supports the Cloud Events 1.0 schema specification and that's the schema that should be used when publishing events to Event Grid.

Important

Event Grid on Kubernetes with Azure Arc is currently in public preview. This preview version is provided without a service level agreement, and it's not recommended for production workloads. Certain features might not be supported or might have constrained capabilities. For more information, see Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews.

CloudEvent schema

CloudEvents is an open specification for describing event data. It simplifies interoperability by providing a common event schema for publishing, and consuming events. See CloudEvents specification for information on the mandatory context attributes.

Example — event using CloudEvents schema

[{
      "specversion": "1.0",
      "type" : "orderCreated",
      "source": "myCompanyName/us/webCommerceChannel/myOnlineCommerceSiteBrandName",
      "id" : "eventId-n",
      "time" : "2020-12-25T20:54:07+00:00",
      "subject" : "account/acct-123224/order/o-123456",
      "dataSchema" : "1.0",
      "data" : {
         "orderId" : "123",
         "orderType" : "PO",
         "reference" : "https://www.myCompanyName.com/orders/123"
      }
}]
