Adk Infra Expert

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure:

• Google Cloud project with billing enabled
• Terraform 1.0+ installed
• gcloud CLI authenticated with appropriate permissions
• Vertex AI API enabled in target project
• VPC Service Controls access policy created (for enterprise)
• Understanding of Agent Engine architecture and requirements

Instructions

1. Initialize Terraform: Set up backend for remote state storage
2. Configure Variables: Define project_id, region, agent configuration
3. Provision VPC: Create network infrastructure with Private Service Connect
4. Set Up IAM: Create service accounts with least privilege roles
5. Deploy Agent Engine: Configure runtime with code execution and memory bank
6. Enable VPC-SC: Apply service perimeter for data exfiltration protection
7. Configure Monitoring: Set up Cloud Monitoring dashboards and alerts
8. Validate Deployment: Test agent endpoint and verify all components

Output

Agent Engine Deployment:

# {baseDir}/terraform/main.tf
resource "google_vertex_ai_agent_runtime" "adk_agent" {
  project  = var.project_id
  location = var.region
  display_name = "adk-production-agent"

  agent_config {
    model = "gemini-2.5-flash"
    code_execution {
      enabled = true
      state_ttl_days = 14
      sandbox_type = "SECURE_ISOLATED"
    }
    memory_bank {
      enabled = true
    }
  }

  vpc_config {
    vpc_network = google_compute_network.agent_vpc.id
    private_service_connect {
      enabled = true
    }
  }
}

VPC Service Controls:

resource "google_access_context_manager_service_perimeter" "adk_perimeter" {
  parent = "accessPolicies/${var.access_policy_id}"
  title  = "ADK Agent Engine Perimeter"

  status {
    restricted_services = [
      "aiplatform.googleapis.com",
      "run.googleapis.com"
    ]
  }
}

IAM Configuration:

resource "google_service_account" "adk_agent" {
  account_id   = "adk-agent-sa"
  display_name = "ADK Agent Service Account"
}

resource "google_project_iam_member" "agent_identity" {
  project = var.project_id
  role    = "roles/aiplatform.agentUser"
  member  = "serviceAccount:${google_service_account.adk_agent.email}"
}

Error Handling

Terraform State Lock

• Error: "Error acquiring the state lock"
• Solution: Use terraform force-unlock <lock-id> or wait for lock expiry

API Not Enabled

• Error: "Vertex AI API has not been used"
• Solution: Enable with gcloud services enable aiplatform.googleapis.com

VPC-SC Configuration

• Error: "Access denied by VPC Service Controls"
• Solution: Add project to service perimeter or adjust ingress/egress policies

IAM Permission Denied

• Error: "does not have required permission"
• Solution: Grant roles/owner temporarily to service account running Terraform

Resource Already Exists

• Error: "Resource already exists"
• Solution: Import existing resource or use data source instead
