When I try to create c3-standard-4-lssd using confidential compute type TDX (follow doc https://cloud.google.com/confidential-computing/confidential-vm/docs/supported-configurations#intel-...), always failed with following error. Also tried other 3 zones, failed with the same message.
```
message: A c3-standard-4-lssd VM instance with 1 local SSD(s) is not supported in the us-central1-a zone with your configuration. Retry your request in a zone that supports the machine type and configuration you require. For more information, view the troubleshooting documentation.
```
The error is saying that there are no free resources in GCP to run that parcticular type of instance. SSD local drive seems to be the problem as c3 without a local drive works just fine.
