Hi gobabu5 ,
I will be picking this up.

I checked the latest released Compute spec 2025-11-01, and could not find any processorMode property under hardwareProfile. Since CLI development depends on this property being available and published in the Swagger, I am currently blocked.

Could you point me to the correct Spec version or the Swagger PR where processorMode is defined?

I do notice the API version is stated 2026-03-01 in the document provided. Could you confirm if this is the exact version I should be looking at? If it isnt published in the public azure-rest-api-specs repo yet, can you let us know about the expected timeline for this spec to be available?
