### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aliyun/guide/events) # Alibaba Cloud - Events Simply put, events are the things that trigger your functions to run. If you are using Alibaba Cloud as your provider, `events` in the service are limited to the Alibaba Cloud triggers HTTP and OSS. [View the Alibaba Cloud Function Compute events section for a list of supported events](../events) Upon deployment, the framework will set up the corresponding event configuration your `function` should listen to. ## Configuration Events belong to each Function and can be found in the `events` property in `serverless.yml`. ```yml # serverless.yml functions: first: # Function name handler: index.http # Reference to file index.js & exported function 'http' events: # All events associated with this function path: /foo method: get ``` **Note:** Currently only one event definition per function is supported. ## Types The Serverless Framework supports the Alibaba Cloud Function Compute events `oss` and `http`. Instead of listing them here, we've put them in a separate section. [Check out the events section for more information.](../events) ## Deploying To deploy or update your Functions and Events run `serverless deploy`.
