Any particular reason for that limitation, or just "not implemented yet"? (Not asking for product roadmaps, just wondering if there's a specific technical issue that makes it more difficult to support.)

That's helpful, thank you.

Not implemented yet. In the stack rank of “stuff needed to update our hypervisor for AMD again” it wasn’t at the top :).

Note the again as well: GCE originally had it such that N in N1 meant iNtel, and A1 was for AMD (as Joe said publicly here: https://twitter.com/jbeda/status/1159891645531213824). By the time I joined though, we didn’t see the point of the A1 parts, since the Sandybridge’s smoked them.
