Webinar on the Redfish 2021.3 and 2021.4 releases
Friday, February 11th
Hosted on Zoom
Presented by the Redfish Forum
This webinar covered both the Redfish 2021.3 and 2021.4 releases.
The Redfish 2021.3 release includes support for Licenses and License Management allowing for inventory and installation of licenses, as obtained by the end user, or otherwise included in a product implementation. The release supports Service-level, Device-centric or Capacity-limited license types to allow for a variety of licensing models. This support allows for either binary (file-based) or text-based licenses in a unified fashion to provide a single, interoperable method for client software to implement. The 2021.3 release also includes support for electrical buses and related products added to the PowerDistribution schema with added properties to Outlet, Circuit, Chassis, and PowerSupply to show electrical connectivity between devices.
Key highlights of the Redfish 2021.4 release are the addition of ComponentIntegrity, RegisteredClient, and ServiceConditions schemas. The new Component Integrity Model allows resources to represent security related information between two entities (typically a BMC and end device); the RegisteredClient resource collection enables clients to be aware of other clients to avoid configuration conflicts when desired; and the ServiceConditions resource provides a roll up of all active, non-normal status conditions that require attention.
Webinar on the Redfish 2021.2 release
Wednesday, October 6th

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.

Enhancements to the networking model were introduced to add Ethernet-related metrics to the NetworkAdatper, NetworkDeviceFunction, and Port resources. In addition, LLDP control was added to NetworkAdapter and Port. New models were added to represent USB controllers and graphics controllers.
