Ah yes, RedFish.
I automate keeping IPMI ssl certain up to date using redfish apis. Importing the new certs requires slightly different magic (cert naming, encoding, etc) on every single different vendor implementation of redfish. I have a collection of Python modules to deal with each vendors eccentricity just around uploading and swapping ssl certs when it should be a set of standard put requests that work everywhere (that is what the redfish API docs would convince you of!)
So not sure I would agree that it is either normalized or usable, as the whole point of something like redfish is that I shouldn’t have to do this. It is equally as annoying as it was when I had to drive their web interfaces directly.

Dell, Lenovo, Fujitsu and Supermicro. 4 different vendors, 4 different Redfish APIs. And what's annoying is that Redfish always looks similar so it fools you into thinking all the vendors do things the same way but no, suddenly some endpoint just doesn't exist in this vendors implementation and you have to scour the docs for this vendors unique magic uri.
