  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-grid/event-schema-azure-cache — "Azure Cache for
  Redis as an Event Grid source", the published event catalog and payload samples.
provider: microsoft-azure-cache-for-redis
delivery: Azure Event Grid
transport:
- webhook (HTTP POST to a subscriber endpoint)
- Azure Event Hubs
- Azure Service Bus queue or topic
- Azure Storage queue
- Relay hybrid connection
- Azure Function
schemas_supported:
- CloudEvents 1.0
- Event Grid schema
publisher: >-
  The cache itself, as an Event Grid system topic of type Microsoft.Cache.Redis. The `source`
  (CloudEvents) / `topic` (Event Grid schema) field is the cache's ARM resource ID.
verification:
  handshake: Event Grid webhook validation (SubscriptionValidationEvent, or the CloudEvents
    HTTP OPTIONS abuse-protection handshake)
  note: >-
    A webhook subscriber must echo the validationCode (or answer the OPTIONS preflight) before
    Event Grid will deliver. There is no per-message HMAC signature — authenticity comes from
    the subscription handshake and, optionally, delivery with a managed identity.

note: >-
  Microsoft publishes no AsyncAPI document for this surface; the AsyncAPI 3.0.0 file alongside
  this one is an API Evangelist derivation of the documented catalog, marked as such in its own
  x-method. These four events are the ONLY asynchronous notifications the service emits — there
  is no per-key or per-command event stream on the control plane, and Redis keyspace
  notifications are a data-plane Redis feature, not an Azure event surface.
