Hello,

when you don't specify a datastore, ansible will use an autoselect_datastore 
function to find a datastore for your VM.
In this function, there is a check to see if there is enough space in the 
datastores list for your new VM.
If not, no datastore is return by this function and you get the "*Failed to 
find a matching datastore" 
message.*

I think you need to check first if you have enough space in your datastores 
to host this new VM.
