DMTF’s Redfish Forum to Host Live Webinar on Redfish 2021.2 Release

Posted on Thu, 09/30/2021 - 09:03

DMTF’s Redfish Forum would like to invite anyone interested in learning about the Redfish 2021.2 release to join a live webinar, hosted on Zoom, on October 6th at 8:00 a.m. PT.

The Forum chairs will present the contents of the release. A Round Table discussion will be held immediately following the webinar.

The new release includes the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework allowing for authorization to be performed by an external entity – no usernames or passwords need to be provided by the client. Additionally, there are several new additions to the support modeling use cases for SmartNICs including the AllowDenyCollection, which was added to NetworkDeviceFunction to show firewalling configurations; the ProcessorCollection was added to NetworkAdapter to show offload processors dedicated to a SmartNIC; and a DPU Value was added to SystemType in ComputerSystem to showcase a system-view of an SoC on a SmartNIC. Key provisioning via Redfish was also added to support NVMe-oF boot use cases where UEFI and the OS need key information to connect to remote NVMe-oF targets.

These latest enhancements are driven by the growth of Redfish and interoperability feedback received from implementers. 

Attendees will be able to ask questions during the Q and A session via the chat function or immediately following the webinar, a Round Table discussion will be held. Redfish Forum members will be available to engage in a dialogue with attendees.  Details on how to join the Round Table discussion will be provided during the live webinar. We look forward to a lively discussion!
