Setup to Reproduce

---

I deployed the vertex-ai stack by following the readme.

zenml stack recipe pull vertex-ai
[edited locals.tf, gke.tf]
zenml stack recipe deploy vertex-ai --import

I edited locals.tf and gke.tf to allow us-east1 in the same manner the directions in the locals.tf specify for the europe region.

  # if you're using europe-west1, please make the following modification in
  # the gke.tf file:
  # For zones in module.gke, replace "${local.region}-a" to "${local.region}-d"
  # This is because "europe-west1-a" doesn't exist for some reason.

⬆️ that applies to us-east1 also.

Here are the two tf files I edited:

terraform_mods.zip

From there, I deployed it with:

zenml stack recipe deploy vertex-ai --import

Error

---

The stack deployment works fine. However when the import occurs, I get the following error:

ValidationError: 1 validation error for VertexOrchestratorConfig
labels
  value is not a valid dict (type=type_error.dict)

This is the full stack trace:

stack_trace.txt

Solution

---

This is how I solved it.

In the generated JSON file, there is:

    configuration: {"workload_service_account": "[SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]", "project": "urbn-data-science", "location": "us-east1", "labels": "{}"}

I solved it by removing:

, "labels": "{}"

Hey Tom! Thanks for reporting the bug. The labels parameter was removed in recent versions of the Vertex orchestrator but this wasn't updated in the recipe. I'll push a PR to fix this :)
