Fall UEFI Forum plugfest is in September in Seattle
The details for the Fall UEFI Forum plugfest have been announced:
Out of Band BIOS Remote Management – AMI
This session will provide an overview of Out of Band BIOS remote management. The REST protocol, which allows for operations with server processes staging Out Of Band requests, can be layered on the platform interface with an integrated baseboard management controller (BMC) or with remote servers. UEFI provides extensive networking support for the pre-boot environment, including secure communication protocols like HTTPS. Checking for staged Out Of Band requests provides a highly manageable solution applicable to a variety of platform with or without a BMC.
