The empty zip file issue appears to have been a file permissions issue where the deployment process was attempting to write to a local folder that my user did not have full write access to.
Changing folder permissions allowed the deployment to run successfully.
The issue with the missing "cdk.json" was still an issue that you may want to address in your code repository for this tutorial.
Thanks!

This appears to be due to a "cdk.json" file not being present in the "cdk" folder.
I manually created a "cdk.json" in folder using a structure similar to the suggestion at:

I got the "cdk deploy" command to run but now I'm getting a warning about an empty zip file being uploaded which halts the stack creation process.
