Virtual Redfish BMC Support on VMs

Hi Folks,
I am looking to see if I can get Redfish BMC support on Proxmox VMs, so I can utilize these API calls: https://docs.openstack.org/sushy-tools/latest/user/dynamic-emulator.html

In my current role, I need to go beyond standard IPMI calls for security and additional functionality when spinning up multiple VMs at the same time. We have a number of Dell/HPE servers and utilizing iDRAC/iLO commands in ansible plays can be a bit time consuming. We would like to use Redfish to standardize BMC commands when deploying VM clusters. Does anyone know if there is support for a VirtualBMC in Proxmox, that is Redfish compliant (https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish)?

Thanks for any advice, in advance.

This was developed to create an OpenStack cluster and have some VMs to emulate the bare-metal servers to be managed by Ironic. I didn't have a chance yet to test with Ironic.

This is very promising. I just played around with it for a bit, and it looks like it could be a great option for use with Ironic (my use case as well).
