    If the Availability zone associated with the subnet does not support the selected instance type during deployment, the below error is logged:

    {snip}
        Your requested instance type (c5.2xlarge) is not supported in your requested Availability Zone (us-east-1e). Please retry your request by not specifying an Availability Zone or choosing us-east-1a, us-east-1c, us-east-1d, us-east-1f, us-east-1b. (Service: AmazonEC2; Status Code: 400; Error Code: Unsupported; Request ID: 9512c71c-1975-4d3b-bc81-d3d8ee9e53bb)

Resolution

Since this is an AWS limitation, choose the subnet associated with availability zone (AZ) which supports the instance type and rerun the CloudFormation template.
