Event sources

Event sources are created by instantiating a CR from a Source object. The Source object defines the arguments and parameters needed to instantiate a CR.

You can list existing event sources on your cluster by entering the ommand:

kn source list

Name	API Version	Maintainer	Description
	Proof of Concept	None	AutoContainerSource is a controller that allows the Source CRDs without needing a controller. It notices CRDs with a specific label and starts controlling resources of that type. It utilizes Container Source as underlying infrastructure.
AWS CodeCommit	Supported	TriggerMesh	Registers for events of the specified types on the specified AWS CodeCommit repository. Brings those events into Knative.
	Supported	TriggerMesh	Registers for AWS Cognito events. Brings those events into Knative.
AWS DynamoDB	Supported	TriggerMesh	Registers for events of on the specified AWS DynamoDB table. Brings those events into Knative.
	Supported	TriggerMesh	Registers for events on the specified AWS Kinesis stream. Brings those events into Knative.
AWS SNS	Supported	TriggerMesh	Registers for events of the specified AWS SNS endpoint. Brings those events into Knative.
	Supported	TriggerMesh	Registers for events of the specified AWS SQS queue. Brings those events into Knative.
BitBucket	Proof of Concept	None	Registers for events of the specified types on the specified BitBucket organization/repository. Brings those events into Knative.
	v1	Google	Registers for events of the specified types on the specified Google Cloud Audit Logs. Brings those events into Knative. Refer to the example for more details.
CloudPubSubSource	v1	Google	Brings messages into Knative. The CloudPubSubSource fires a new event each time a message is published on a Google Cloud Platform PubSub topic. See the example for more details.
CloudSchedulerSource	v1	Google	Create, update, and delete Jobs. When those jobs are triggered, receive the event inside Knative. See the CloudSchedulerSource example for further details.
	v1	Google	Registers for events of the specified types on the specified Google Cloud Storage bucket and optional object prefix. Brings those events into Knative. See the example.
DockerHubSource	v1alpha1	None	Retrieves events from and transforms them into CloudEvents for consumption in Knative.
FTP / SFTP	Proof of concept	None	Watches for files being uploaded into a FTP/SFTP and generates events for those.
	Proof of Concept	None	Uses an in-memory timer to produce events as the specified interval. Uses AutoContainerSource for underlying infrastructure.
Konnek	Active Development	None	Retrieves events from cloud platforms (like AWS and GCP) and transforms them into CloudEvents for consumption in Knative.
	Proof of Concept	None	Brings Kubernetes cluster events into Knative. Uses AutoContainerSource for underlying infrastructure.
RedisSource	v1alpha1	None	Brings Redis Stream into Knative.
	Active Development	None	Brings vSphere events into Knative.
