Description Michal Skrivanek 2017-11-24 13:51:03 UTC

7.5 adds "Skylake (server)" CPU family (machine type Skylake-server"
We should add it to oVirt, and differentiate from the existing "Skylake" family we have by renaming it to "Skylake (client)"

Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2017-11-24 13:59:37 UTC

depends on CentOS 7.5

Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2018-01-22 10:17:11 UTC

also AMD EPYC
