Issue in deleting and recreating Deployments resulting in error: "The request for 'X' MBs of memory per instance exceeds the project capacity limit for the associated cloud zones"

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

This issue was found when deleting a deployment from Aria Automation. In theory this issue could happen even when deploying a VM for the first time. The result of the issue is the deployment fails with the following error:

The request for '1,503,232' MBs of memory per instance exceeds the project capacity limit for the associated cloud zones. Please contact your cloud administrator for further assistance.

Environment

All Supported Aria Automation versions

Resolution

The issue was that the blueprint used to deploy the VM had the property 'project' on it. The properly 'project' is used internally by Aria Automation and was over ridden by the blueprint. Once the property was renamed in the blueprint the process worked again.
