+Lifecycle Management (LCM) Event
+================================
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+Lifecycle management events are published as cm handle state transitions from one state to another.
+
+
+LCM events and state handler
+----------------------------
+The LCM events are triggered under the state handler which has the following responsibilities:
+
+#. Updating and persisting cm handle state based on the target state of the cm handle
+
+#. Create and calls to publish the LCM event based on the cm handle state transition that occured
+
+	**3 possible event types:**
+
+	* Create
+	* Update
+	* Delete
+
+
+
+LCM Event Schema
+----------------
+The current published LCM event is based on the following schema:
+
+:download:`Life cycle management event schema <schemas/lcm-event-schema-v1.json>`
