Question: Why do I get the ResourceNotFoundError below even when I have performed all the necessary setup?

Context: The error comes from cell/step 8 in notebook 4 of the finetuning and distillation guide. I am running my code in a Jupyter Notebook in the Azure Machine Learning Studio.

Code:


registered_model = ml_client.models.create_or_update(file_model)

Error:

ResourceNotFoundError: (ParentResourceNotFound) Failed to perform 'read' on resource(s) of type 'workspaces/datastores', because the parent resource '/subscriptions/xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/rg-Lab329-AI-Env/providers/Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces/Lab329-AI-EnvProj' could not be found. Code: ParentResourceNotFound Message: Failed to perform 'read' on resource(s) of type 'workspaces/datastores', because the parent resource '/subscriptions/xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/rg-Lab329-AI-Env/providers/Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces/Lab329-AI-EnvProj' could not be found.

    Hello Ufedo Omale,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

    I understand that you always get ResourceNotFoundError error, even when you have performed all the necessary setup.

    There are many potential causes of the ResourceNotFoundError, including but not limited to:

    • Workspace misnaming
    • Soft-deleted workspace
    • Permissions issues
    • Deployment path errors
    1. Before you go deeper, check permissions to be sure your identity has Contributor or Owner access to:
      • The workspace
      • The resource group
      • The subscription
      Use Azure Portal > Workspace > Access Control (IAM) > Role Assignments to confirm this, if not assign the permission and check again.
    2. Verify workspace existence and if not found, check Recently Deleted Workspaces: From - Azure Portal > Azure ML > Recently Deleted - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-soft-delete?view=azureml-api-2
    3. If none of the above. Go to Azure Portal > Azure ML > Recently Deleted > Select Workspace > Click Recover - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-soft-delete?view=azureml-api-2
    4. Try to view model registration guide - as in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-manage-models?view=azureml-api-2
    5. Also, if above not working. Make sure the resource path in your code matches the actual Azure resource hierarchy: /subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces/<workspace-name> Check this reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/error-parent-resource

    I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or clarifications.
