Before You Start
Welcome to EventGrid (EG)
EventGrid (EG) is a serverless event bus service for standard and centralized access of Huawei Cloud services and custom or SaaS applications. You can build a loosely coupled, distributed event-driven architecture to flexibly route events via CloudEvents.
This document provides API descriptions, syntax, parameters, and examples of EG.
EG supports Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs, allowing you to call APIs using HTTPS. For details about API calling, see Calling APIs.
Constraints
- EG is continuously upgraded with new functions, and the existing APIs may be adjusted. For example, new response parameters may be added. To reduce the impact of API changes, EG is backward compatible with APIs when possible. However, when you use EG, you should accept and ignore unused parameters and parameter values in returned content (in JSON format).
- The number of EG resources that you can create is determined by your quotas. To increase your quotas, see My Quotas.
- For more constraints, see API description.
Endpoints
An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. For the endpoints of all services, see Regions and Endpoints.
Concepts
- Account
An account is created upon successful registration and has full access permissions for all of its cloud services and resources. It can be used to reset user passwords and grant user permissions. The account is a payment entity and should not be used directly to perform routine management. For security purposes, create IAM users and grant them permissions for routine management.
- User
An IAM user is created using an account to use cloud services. Each IAM user has their own identity credentials (password and access keys).
The account name, username, and password will be required for API authentication.
- Region: A region is a geographic area in which cloud resources are deployed. Availability zones (AZs) in the same region can communicate with each other over an intranet, while AZs in different regions are isolated from each other. Deploying cloud resources in different regions can better suit certain user requirements or comply with local laws or regulations.
- AZ: An AZ contains one or more physical data centers. Each AZ has independent cooling, fire extinguishing, moisture-proof, and electricity facilities. Within an AZ, compute, network, storage, and other resources are logically divided into multiple clusters. AZs within a region are interconnected using high-speed optical fibers to allow you to build cross-AZ high-availability systems.
- Project
A project corresponds to a region. Projects are preset by the system and have physically isolated resources (including compute, storage, and network resources) across regions. Users can be granted permissions in a default project to access all resources in the region associated with the project. If you need more refined access control, create subprojects under a default project and create resources in subprojects. Then you can assign users the permissions required to access only the resources in the specific subprojects.
Figure 1 Project isolation model - Enterprise project
Enterprise projects group and manage resources across regions. Resources in enterprise projects are logically isolated. An enterprise project can contain resources in multiple regions, and resources can be directly transferred between enterprise projects.
For details about how to obtain enterprise project IDs and features, see the Enterprise Management User Guide.
