Cause

Insufficient size of Mac's drive.

Resolution

If the drive is bigger than the macOS image you are trying to apply, please do the following:

1. On the Mac where you captured the image run these commands in Terminal:
diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 limits
diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk1 <size in bytes>B
- where <size in bytes> is received from the first command
2. Re-capture the image, re-distribute it and re-deploy.
