Event schemas in Event Grid on Kubernetes

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.

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"
      }
