The presentation discusses the importance of standardization and event-driven architecture in the context of continuous delivery (CD) and software supply chain.
- The CD Events Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed to create a shared vocabulary for CD and software supply chain in a protocol-agnostic way.
- The group focuses on four logical buckets for events: core packets, source code version control, continuous integration, and continuous deployment.
- Events are data records expressing an occurrence and its context, and they help create loosely coupled integration between different tools in the ecosystem.
- CD events play an important role in creating visibility across distributed workflows.
- A proof of concept was built to test the assumptions and demonstrate the benefits of CD events in a concrete scenario.
