Redfish Deep Dive
summary
Redfish provides a RESTful HTTP+JSON management API with machine-readable JSON Schema, OpenAPI and OData outputs, and has been deployed at scale (notably 500 Redfish instances at CERN). It defines data models for servers, storage, fabrics (PCIe, CXL, Gen‑Z), GPUs/DPUs, FPGAs and SmartNICs, supports actions like multiple reset types, and includes tooling: service simulators, schema conformance testers and the sushi client used by OpenStack Ironic. OCP defines a baseline/profile (v1.0 live, firmware update in proposed v1.1) and the Gen-Z fabric model maps endpoints, zones and physical topology.
