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
