Automate with Events

You can create automation based on state changes for your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources by using event types, rules, and actions.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services emit events, which are structured messages that indicate changes in resources. An Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation administrator can create rules to track these events, such as when instances are created, updated, or deleted, and compartments changed.

For more information, see Overview of Events.

The following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation resource emits events.
