The Redfish standard is a suite of specifications that deliver an industry standard protocol providing Software Defined Management for Converged infrastructure.
Distributed Management Task Force developed Redfish Standard is a suite of specifications that deliver architectural semantics, industry standard protocols and profiles to unify the management of the data center. Through the development of conformance testing programs, the Redfish Forum will extend these capabilities by helping deliver additional compatibility in cross-platform servers.
History
The Redfish standard has been elaborated under the SPMF umbrella at the DMTF in 2014. The first specification with base models (1.0) was published in August 2015[1]. In 2016, Models for BIOS, disk drives, memory, storage, volume, endpoint, fabric, switch, PCIe device, zone, software/firmware inventory & update, multi-function NICs), host interface (KCS replacement) and privilege mapping were added. In 2017, Models for Composability, Location and errata were added[2]. There is WIP for Telemetry, Ethernet Switching, DCIM, and OCP & Profiles.
In August 2016, SNIA released a first model for network storage services (Swordfish[3]), an extension of the Redfish specification.
