Motivation

The CloudEvents specification is a vendor-neutral specification for defining the format of event data that is being exchanged between different cloud systems. The specification basically defines an abstract envelope for any event data payload, without knowing specific implementation details of the actual underlying event. The current version of the spec is at 0.3 and it describes a simple event format, which was demonstrated at KubeCon 2018 using different Serverless platforms, such as Apache Openwhisk.

Community

• There are bi-weekly calls immediately following the Serverless/CloudEvents call at 9am PT (US Pacific). Which means they will typically start at 10am PT, but if the other call ends early then the SDK call will start early as well. See the CloudEvents meeting minutes to determine which week will have the call.
