I have question regarding Task Service resource.
I cannot find information about how tasks are started within Redfish.

Is it related somehow with Actions or completely not?
Should we expect starting a task in a similar way to Actions - so HTTP POST on action uri?
Could you give me any hint?

Read the section called "Asynchronous Operations". Basically, anything except a GET could take longer than the client calling the API planned on. That is currently the only way tasks start. So it could be an action (POST), it could be a Create (POST), delete (DELETE) or even modify (PUT/PATCH) at least theoretically.
We have it on our list to create a YouTube video on Tasks, but it may be a few more weeks at least.
