Event Notification System

Abstract

Today’s enterprises have a huge amount of automatic processes and systems performing a huge amount of tasks, which are very important to the business success and to support normal operations. Having an Event Notification System (ENS) where these events become available for other systems consumption, end-users as email notifications, and persisted for later analysis or system audit, could improve the business and make the business more productive. ENS is a middleware system that enables other systems to post notification messages for the user community or other interested services regarding vApp deployments, site outages, network connectivity issues, test content management, and any other later identified event of interest for the optimal function of the team or operation. Also improves business with providing notification faster so that long time tasks can notify other processes or people interested of whether the operation has been completed or an intervention needs to be done. This article covers the design and implementation of the ENS. Key Terms - Message Broker, Micro Services, Publish-Subscribe.
