1. Platform Events, which are also known as hardware-level operations
2. Data Events, which are also known as data plane operations
3. System Events, which are also known as instance-level operations
4. Control Events, which are also known as data plane operations
5. Management Events, which are also known as control plane operations

Correct Answer: 2, 5
