VM Placement in vRA 8 : error " Cloud zone was not applicable for selection"

I get this error message when I try to deploy a vm. " Cloud zone was not applicable for selection"

Please see the attached screenshot

I have a constraint in my blueprint.resources:

=========

Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1:
type: Cloud.vSphere.Machine
properties:
constraints:
- tag: 'Environment:Development'
image: Windows2019
flavor: Small

=========

Any ideas why I'm getting this message? Clearly the constraint is met. Also, what log file can I look at to see more details of the error?

Thanks.

How about storage constraints?

Quickstart gave me some headache earlier: it had set a storage policy I did not notice and was not met later. So look around and check everything again.

I had the same issue: "Cloud zone was not applicable for selection"

For some reason the Cloud Zone was not behaving as expected. I solved my issue with the following steps:

1. Cloud Zone -> Open Cloud Zone with issue -> Select Compute tab -> Removed Compute Resource -> Save

2. Cloud Zone -> Open Cloud Zone with issue -> Select Compute tab -> Added Compute Resource -> Save

Even though I selected the same Compute Resource again, it solved my issue.
