DMTF’s Redfish Forum held a live webinar on Thursday, October 26th. Presented by the chairs of the Redfish Forum and hosted on Zoom, this webinar covered the contents of the 2023.2 release.

The latest release of the Redfish standard includes 31 schema updates and 6 new schemas including a NEW Outbound Connection capability that uses a WebSocket mechanism for connecting Redfish-enabled devices to Internet-based or cloud services. The release also includes NEW data model support for applications, containers, and operating systems, which increases Redfish coverage “up the software stack.”

Other Key highlights of the Redfish 2023.2 release are support for: 

• MemoryRegion - supports CXL dynamic capacity devices (DCD)
• Enhancements to the Drive and Storage models with new DriveMetrics and StorageControllerMetrics resources and StorageController actions

To improve developer access to and synchronization with the latest Redfish releases, a new public GitHub repository has been created to host copies of the published Redfish schemas and standard message registries. The new Redfish-Publications GitHub repository contains the contents of DSP8010 and DSP8011, providing the ability to both download and create durable links to DMTF-maintained materials.

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

The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.
