1. Proposed title of this feature request.
The customer is interested in using 3rd generation AMD EPYC memory optimized VM Series for ARO Cluster with temp disk, ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/memory-optimized/eadsv5-series?tabs=sizestoragelocal
Also, they want to know if MSFT has already released v6 +v7 with 5th generation EPYC + Intel XEON. It would be nice to see this being supported by ARO soon as well.
2. What is the nature and description of the request?
Since the above-mentioned VM series are not a part of the supported VMs during ARO Cluster installation, the customer needs them to be added as a supportable option and under the ARO Support Policy.
3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
The Customer is responsible for Container Solutions at LHT and needs to ensure that they're not configuring against ARO policies in terms of losing support. Furthermore, in a DR scenario, they need to be able to rebuild the cluster from scratch without changing the code, which would currently be the case. However, this is not optimal in the long term.
4. List any affected packages or components.
