You can, however simply power down the vm and then use vmotion to migrate across from intel to amd. Not "live" but pretty close to it when migrating to the new cpu cluster.

Yes, but depending on your architecture, that may result in a service outage or degradation. It's really nice to be able to VMotion live machines without any impact to users.

Sure, Devops, durable machines, chaos monkey, etc. etc.; we don't develop all of the code our users run, and not all of it has those features yet, or will ever.
