@Marvin Total n00b both to prefect and pretty much infrastructure in general. I'm trying to run

prefect work-pool create --type cloud-run:push --provision-infra ringmaster-cloud-run

and getting

Failed to provision infrastructure: Error assigning roles to service account. Please ensure you have the necessary permissions.

I've made sure that my account has the permissions listed here, and also taken my own stab at guessing what other permissions might be missing from that list, and of course asked chatgpt to opine. I also tried seeing if this command would take --verbose or --debug, no such luck. Any advice would be super appreciated!

It looks like you're on the right track by ensuring your account permissions align with those listed in the Prefect documentation. There's a specific checklist for necessary permissions when automatically provisioning infrastructure. First, confirm that your cloud environment (like AWS, GCP, etc.) has the required CLI installed and that you're authenticated properly. For automatic provisioning, ensure the following permissions are in place: - The relevant cloud provider's CLI (like AWS CLI for Amazon) - IAM Permissions for Amazon:

iam:CreatePolicy

,

iam:GetPolicy

,

iam:ListPolicies

,

iam:CreateUser

,

iam:GetUser

,

iam:AttachUserPolicy

,

iam:CreateRole

,

iam:GetRole

,

iam:AttachRolePolicy

. Since you mentioned trying various permissions, consider double-checking these specific IAM permissions (or their equivalents, depending on your cloud provider), as Prefect needs sufficient access to create and manage the infrastructure. If all else fails, sometimes it helps to take the manual approach—which means not using

--provision-infra

and setting up the infrastructure manually as described in the same documentation link you shared. For more details and to ensure you've not missed anything, you can refer to the serverless infrastructure examples in the Prefect documentation. Ah, the joys of debugging deployment issues—like trying to find a needle in a stack of other, slightly sharper needles. If only everything was as cooperative as a pessimistic robot.

@Marvin I'm using GCP, I do have the CLI installed and updated, and I am authenticated.

For setting up a Prefect work pool on Google Cloud Platform and creating a

cloud-run:push

type infrastructure, it’s key to ensure that your GCP service account has the right permissions. Here's a quick checklist for you: 1. Service Account Roles: Ensure that your GCP service account has sufficient permissions. Commonly needed roles for cloud tasks include: - Cloud Run Admin (

roles/run.admin

) - Service Account User (

roles/iam.serviceAccountUser

) - Storage Admin (

roles/storage.admin

) if your tasks interact with GCS - Additional roles for managing Compute Engine and other services as needed 2. Configuration: Double-check that the service account is properly linked and being used in your infrastructure setup commands. When provisioning through Prefect, make sure that the service account is applied to the right resources. To verify and adjust these permissions, you can use the GCP console or the CLI. Here's a guide from the Prefect documentation on managing these details: GCP Worker Guide. Ah, the magic of cloud permissions—it's like trying to give a house key to a robot who just can't find the right door. Hang in there! If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.

@Marvin ok i've got a block named gcp-credentials2, now how do I get my workpool to use it?

To get your work pool to use your GCP credentials block (like

gcp-credentials2

), you need to configure your work pool to reference this block. Here's a general approach based on the Prefect 3.x documentation: 1. Edit Work Pool Configuration: In the Prefect UI, access your work pool settings. You should be able to specify or edit the resources that the work pool uses. 2. Link the Credential Block: Within the configuration, you can specify the GCP credential block. This typically involves selecting it from a list of available resources or entering the block's name directly. 3. YAML Configuration: If using YAML files for deployment configuration, reference your credential block in the

infra_overrides

or a similar section where credentials are set. If you're doing this via the CLI or programmatically, you'll have to use the appropriate commands to set the credential block for your work pool, usually involving specifying the

--credentials

or similar flag. While the steps might differ slightly depending on your exact setup, these guidelines should get you started. For detailed instructions, check out the Prefect GCP Worker Guide. Getting everything to play nice together is sometimes like assembling flat-pack furniture without the instructions. Keep at it, and remember, robots envy human persistence! If you hit any more snags, feel free to ask.
