Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Events is a service provided by Oracle Cloud that allows you to monitor and respond to events that occur within your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy. These events can include changes to your resources, security-related incidents, and more. OCI Events provides a way to track and automate responses to these events, helping you manage and maintain your cloud infrastructure effectively.

Some key features and uses of OCI Events include:

1. Event Types: OCI Events supports various event types, including resource-related events (e.g., creation, deletion, or modification of resources), audit events (e.g., changes to IAM policies), and custom events that you can define based on your specific needs.

2. Event Rules: You can create event rules that specify conditions for triggering actions based on events. These rules can be used to automate tasks or send notifications when specific events occur.

3. Notifications: OCI Events integrates with Oracle Cloud Notification Service (ONS), allowing you to send notifications through multiple channels (e.g., email, SMS, webhook) when events match the defined rules.

4. Event Data: Events provide detailed information about what occurred, including timestamps, affected resources, and relevant metadata, helping you troubleshoot and respond to incidents.

5. Event Sources: OCI Events can be integrated with various Oracle Cloud services and resources, such as compute instances, storage, databases, and more. You can also create custom event sources to monitor your own applications and services.

By using OCI Events, you can proactively manage your Oracle Cloud infrastructure, automate routine tasks, and respond swiftly to incidents or changes in your cloud environment. This can help you ensure the reliability, security, and performance of your cloud-based applications and services.
