AMD EPYC™ 9274F - Spectre and Meltdown Mitigation

Hi Everyone

We have new servers with AMD EPYC™ 9274F processors.

I am looking for the information about any moves I need to do to patch Spectre and Meltdown.

My environment is based on ESXi and Windows Server VMs. On my old servers based on Intel I had to use below registry keys to patch my environment

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride
REG_DWORD 0

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask
REG_DWORD 3

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization" /v MinVmVersionForCpuBasedMitigations
REG_SZ "1.0"

Do I have to use any mitigations on EPYC 9274F CPU?
and one more question
If any mitigation is not needed, can I leave above registry keys on my WIndows Servers or I have to remove them to do not affect CPS performance?

Marcin
