Qwiklabs Dataflow Lab Fix Summary Problems SSL/Metadata auth failure — google-auth 2.44.0+ broke the default HTTP transport, causing CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED errors when the notebook tried to reach GCP's metadata server Zone resource exhaustion — n1-standard-1 (Dataflow's default) was completely unavailable across all us-central1 zones for Qwiklabs accounts Pipeline exits early — p.run() doesn't wait for completion, causing silent failures argparse rejects extra flags — parse_args() blocks passing extra Beam arguments like --worker_machine_type Fixes 1. Fix SSL auth error bashexport GCE_METADATA_MTLS_MODE=none 2. Use e2-standard-2 machine type Add to your run command: bash--worker_machine_type=e2-standard-2 3. Fix pipeline code In my_pipeline.py: python# Change this: opts = parser.parse_args() options = PipelineOptions() p.run() # To this: opts, pipeline_args = parser.parse_known_args() options = PipelineOptions(pipeline_args) p.run().wait_until_finish() 4. Full working command bashcd $BASE_DIR export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project) export GCE_METADATA_MTLS_MODE=none python3 my_pipeline.py \ --project=${PROJECT_ID} \ --region=us-central1 \ --stagingLocation=gs://$PROJECT_ID/staging/ \ --tempLocation=gs://$PROJECT_ID/temp/ \ --runner=DataflowRunner \ --worker_machine_type=e2-standard-2 5. For the Dataflow Template UI Under Optional Parameters → uncheck "Use default machine type" → Series: E2 → Machine type: e2-standard-2

VERY BAD>> I am unable to run my jobs are with DataflowRunner as I am always getting resources contraints errors.. job is not able to spn up us-cerntral1 region.. I am getting same error in all labs which requires to submit jobs on dataflow. I am able to run with DirectRunner. Please help in this as I have spent too many hours but end up getting same error again and again

couldnt finisih it lots of errors in the step by step or resources available

couldn't finish because dataflow job could get the resources to actually run. Stupid and a waste of my time. still can't run due to limited resources

My conclusion from this lab is that I should not use or depend on this type of platform for production loads. It if does not even work in a controlled lab, then production is a no-go!

In the Python script, allow users to pass alternative machine types, so there is no possibility of being unable to complete the lab due to insufficient resources being available (for N1?)

There is currently an issue with google.auth library (https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/issues/16090) that prevents me from finishing the lab - took a long time to find the root couse and I run out of time. Additionally, the worker zones and machine types have to be specified because without them the dataflow cannot spawn workers and jobs keep failing.
