Forum Description

The Redfish Forum, formerly known as the Scalable Platforms Management Forum (SPMF), is responsible for the DMTF’s Redfish®. A standard, Redfish is designed to deliver simple and secure management for converged, hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). Both human readable and machine capable, Redfish leverages common Internet and web services standards to expose information directly to the modern tool chain.

The Redfish Forum also maintains the Redfish Developer Hub, a one-stop, in-depth technical resource – by developers, for developers – designed to provide all the files, tools, community support, tutorials and other advanced education developers need to use Redfish.

Get Involved:

The Redfish Forum develops the Redfish Standard.
Participation in this group is one of the benefits of membership of the DMTF’s Redfish Forum. Learn more about the Refish Forum and join to contribute to this standard.
DMTF welcomes feedback on our standards, but requires that individuals submitting comments first agree to our DMTF Feedback Policy.

Open Source Projects using DMTF SPMF Technologies

DMTF technologies are leveraged in numerous third-party open source projects. If you are aware of any additional projects using DMTF technologies that are not included below, please contact us so we can add them to the list.

Open Source Project	Description of Tool
gofish	Gofish is a Golang library for interacting with DMTF Redfish and SNIA Swordfish enabled devices.
libredfish	libRedfish is a C client library that allows for Creation of Entities (POST), Read of Entities (GET), Update of Entities (PATCH), Deletion of Entities (DELETE), running Actions (POST), receiving events, and providing some basic query abilities. This is a DMTF-led effort.
Python Redfish Library	Python library for interacting with devices which support a Redfish Service. This is a DMTF-led effort.

Python Redfish Utility	Hewlett Packard's Redfish Utility is a command line interface that allows you to manage servers that take advantage of Redfish APIs
Python-Redfish	A Python Redfish library.
RackHD	RackHD to support not only the legacy protocols such as IPMI, but also new Restful interfaces such as DMTF Redfish.
Redfish Interface Emulator	The Redfish Interface Emulator can emulate a Redfish-based interface statically (GET) or dynamically (POST, PATCH, DELETE). This is a DMTF-led effort.
Redfish Interop Validator	The Redfish Interop Validator is a python3 tool that will validate a service based on a profile given to the tool. This is a DMTF-led effort.

Redfish Mockup Server	A simple Python 3.4 program that can be copied into a folder at the top of any Redfish mockup and can serve Redfish requests on the specified IP/port. This is a DMTF-led effort.
Redfish Profile Simulator	A Flask-based simulator of a Redfish Service implementing the proposed OCP feature Profile. This is a DMTF-led effort.
