Redfish (specification)


The Redfish standard is a suite of specifications that deliver an industry standard protocol providing a RESTful interface for the management of servers, storage, networking, and converged infrastructure.

History

The Redfish standard has been elaborated under the SPMF umbrella at the DMTF in 2014. The first specification with base models, host interface and privilege mapping were added. In 2017, Models for Composability, Location and errata were added. There is work in progress for Ethernet Switching, DCIM, and OCP.
In August 2016, SNIA released a first model for network storage services, an extension of the Redfish specification.
