<p>The Kubernetes POD running on the Jenkins Slave is getting restarted. It is just repeating, nothing else. Kubernetes cluster is running in AWS. Can someone help, what exactly happening here. I am running a simple pipeline which I found in GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/vivid-lukeloresch/test-pipeline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/vivid-lukeloresch/test-pipeline</a>).  Here are the console logs. Thanks for all help. </p>

<p>Looks like the Jenkins slave can't initialize. Most likely because it can't connect to the Jenkins master.</p>

<p>Make sure your slave/pod can connect to the value of <code>JENKINS_URL</code>.  You can start another pod on the same namespace and see if you have any connectivity issues:</p>

<pre><code>$ kubectl run -i --tty --rm debug --image=ubuntu --restart=Never -n &lt;namespace-where-the-jenkins-pods-are-running&gt; -- sh
</code></pre>

<p>You can also look at the logs while the pod is running for the specific containers.</p>

<pre><code>$ kubectl -n &lt;namespace-where-the-jenkins-pods-are-running&gt; logs -c &lt;container-name&gt; &lt;pod-name&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>For example:</p>

<pre><code>$ kubectl -n default logs -c jnlp promo-app-gn5v8-w05qg
</code></pre>
