Unable to deploy EKS-A to vSphere cluster

**What happened**:
Unable to deploy EKS-A on ESXI 8 U1

**What you expected to happen**:
The initial cluster to be deployed

**How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)**:
Just follow the process from the documentation to deploy the initial cluster.

When it tries to deploy the first etcd VM from the templates, the VM is created, but then briefly after creation it is removed and I see the following error:

> A specified parameter was not correct: spec.config.deviceChange[0].operation

I've tried with multiple BR versions starting from 1.26 to 1.29 and all of them fail. Also tried on two completely separated ESXI/vSphere clusters with the same results.

**Environment**:
Latest EKS-A CLI (from brew) on macOS Sonoma (fully updated) deploying to ESXi/vCenter/vSAN 8U1.

Start by reproducing the initial-cluster deployment described in the EKS-A documentation on ESXi/vCenter/vSAN 8U1 and inspect the first etcd VM failure. Compare the reported spec.config.deviceChange[0].operation error across the tested BR versions; done means the initial cluster deploys without the etcd VM being removed.
