<p>From yesterday I started having problems with jenkins pod - it is unable to be initialized. I haven't update any configuration in the meantime.</p>
<p>This is how my pod deployment configuration looks like</p>

</code></pre>
<p>I have tried to edit it and set the specific jenkins image version, for example <code>image: jenkins/jenkins:2.219</code>, but it is still not able to initialize.</p>
<p>When I run <code>kubectl logs jenkins-df87c46d5-52dtt -c copy-default-config -n infrastructure</code> I can see the following log:</p>
<pre><code>11:21:05 Failed in the last attempt (curl -sSfL --connect-timeout 20 --retry 3 --retry-delay 0 --retry-max-time 60 https://updates.jenkins.io/dynamic-2.248//latest/workflow-cps.hpi -o /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins/workflow-cps.jpi)
