asyncapi_note: >-
  Oracle publishes NO AsyncAPI document for the OCI event surface, and none is authored
  here. What Oracle does publish is a CloudEvents-formatted event stream with a documented
  producer/event-type catalogue, captured below as a webhook + event surface rather than
  fabricated into a spec.
event_surface:
  name: OCI Events
  format: CloudEvents
  format_evidence: >-
    Oracle's overview states OCI events are emitted "in the CloudEvents industry standard
    format" hosted by the CNCF, and every entry on the Services that Produce Events
    reference carries a cloudEventsVersion field.

  event_catalog: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Events/Reference/eventsproducers.htm
  event_catalog_description: >-
    "Services that Produce Events" — Oracle's own reference listing every OCI service that
    emits events and the event types it emits. Example types documented include
    backup.begin and backup.end for database backups, and create/update/delete events for
    Object Storage buckets and objects.
  model: rules-and-subscriptions
  model_description: >-
    An event Rule matches on event type and attributes and routes to an action. Events are
    NOT delivered directly to an arbitrary URL — Oracle's Events service delivers only to
    three OCI targets.
delivery_targets:
  - name: Notifications
    docs: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Notification/home.htm
  - name: Streaming
    docs: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Streaming/home.htm
  - name: Functions
    docs: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Functions/home.htm
webhooks:
  supported: true
  mechanism: OCI Notifications — HTTPS (Custom URL) subscription
  docs: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Notification/Tasks/create-subscription.htm
  description: >-
    The webhook path is indirect and worth stating plainly: OCI Events cannot POST to a
    customer URL. To receive an OCI event on your own endpoint you route the Rule to a
    Notifications topic, then create a subscription on that topic with the HTTPS
    (Custom URL) protocol — Oracle's own subscription doc names that protocol verbatim. Two
    hops, two services, and a confirmation step, where most APIs offer one webhook
    registration call.
  confirmation_required: true
  confirmation_note: >-
    HTTPS subscriptions require confirmation before delivery begins, in the usual
    subscribe/confirm pattern.
control_plane_operations:
  note: >-
    The Events, Notifications, Streaming and Functions control planes each have their own
    OCI OpenAPI contract in Oracle's spec index (services `events`, `notification`,
    `streaming`, `functions`). None of the six documents harvested into this repo is one of
    them, so no event-management operationIds are claimed here.
