CloudEvents
Events are everywhere. However, event producers tend to describe events differently.
The lack of a common way of describing events means developers must constantly re-learn how to consume events. This also limits the potential for libraries, tooling and infrastructure to aide the delivery of event data across environments, like SDKs, event routers or tracing systems. The portability and productivity we can achieve from event data is hindered overall.
CloudEvents is a specification for describing event data in common formats to provide interoperability across services, platforms and systems.
CloudEvents has received a large amount of industry interest, ranging from major cloud providers to popular SaaS companies. CloudEvents is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and was approved as a Cloud Native sandbox level project on May 15, 2018 and as an incubator project on Oct 24, 2019.

The Registry and Pagination specifications can now be found in the xRegistry/spec repo.
Additional release related information: Historical releases and changelogs
If you are new to CloudEvents, it is recommended that you start by reading the Primer for an overview of the specification's goals and design decisions, and then move on to the core specification.
Since not all event producers generate CloudEvents by default, there is documentation describing the recommended process for adapting some popular events into CloudEvents, see CloudEvents Adapters.
SDKs
In addition to the documentation mentioned above, there are also a set of language specific SDKs being developed:
The SDK requirements document provides information on how the SDKs are managed and what is expected of each one. The SDK feature support table is a good resource to see which features, event formats and bindings are supported by each SDK.
For more information about how the SDKs operate, please see the following documents:
