Juniper and/or windows nodes?
Has anyone of you folks that have an AMD chip (ryzen or threadripper) loaded a Juniper VMX, VQFX, or VSRX image into a topology? Additionally have you loaded a windows 10 or other 64bit OS node? One of the things the EVE folks said might be a problem with AMD processors was running 64 bit guests. I'm trying to figure out what exactly that means before building a system with one of the new threadripper chips coming out.

Re: Juniper and/or windows nodes?
The main issues are the images vendor requirements.
They usually require some specific Intel flags not present in AMD in L2 virtualization.
Of course AMD move fast and become an alternative but we didn't validate AMD. That's why , to be honest and transparent, we don't want to confirm officially that AMD is supported.
Buying a server based on AMD for big topology could cost a lot and we don't want to have any user disappointed because the AMD solution finally don't work well with EVE.

Hi,
I have an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and vQFX works fine with VirtualBox KVM acceleration (Eve-ng in VB and nested virtualization)
So for I had a good experience.
