LVFS/Fwupd Talked Up For Linux Servers & Being What Customers Want
Lead LVFS/Fwupd developer Richard Hughes of Red Hat was at the PremDay on-premise computing conference in Paris to talk up this open-source firmware updating solution and being what customers want. The presentation video and slides are now available for those needing additional material in helping sell your organization on the benefits of LVFS/Fwupd.
While the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) and Fwupd firmware update utility has been enjoying much success in the consumer space, over in the Linux server space it's been a slower roll-out but still seeing some adoption by different server ODMs and supporting Redfish and other plug-ins relevant for firmware updating in the Linux data center space. Hopefully with Richard Hughes' presence at PremDay will help in convincing more hardware vendors to go the LVFS/Fwupd route.
For longtime Phoronix readers, LVFS/Fwupd doesn't need much introduction but for those wanting to view Richard's talk can find it embedded below along with the slide deck.
