I am trying bosh upload release ./releases/cf-205.yml right now which I just discovered.

I guess you are using a cloud provider and not bosh-lite. In such case you should provide valid cloud_properties and not the default in the bosh-lite based diego-iaas-settings.yml.

For example you can define in your own settings:

  compilation_cloud_properties:
    availability_zone: us-east-1a
    instance_type: c4.large
    ephemeral_disk:
      size: 204800
      type: standard
  resource_pool_cloud_properties:
    - name: brain_z1
      cloud_properties:
        availability_zone: us-east-1a
        instance_type: c3.xlarge

Please note that cf-release now uses hvm stemcell and not all instance types in AWS are supported.
