title: Can packer.io template specify processor type in azure builder?
body: <p>Constraints:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>My application requires SSE4.2 instruction set. </li>
  <li>I am using packer.io to provision my Windows Azure VM (OpenLogic 6.5 OS.)</li>
  <li>Windows Azure returns an AMD-processor-backed-VM about 15% of the time. The rest of the time - they are Intel-processor-based. AMD processors do not support SSE4.2, but they do support SSE4a. So, my application is terminated with SIGILL on AMD processors.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Can I request specific architecture (Intel CPU) when Packer
  provisions a VM? I know that instance types >= A8 come only with Intel processors, but they are more expensive, and I would not want to use them for development.</li>
  <li>If Packer cannot do it, what are the other options
  (Powershell, ect...) that would give me this functionality?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
