Dear All,

I am very new to Kubernetes and in the beginning days of learning it .So advance apology If mistaking with some technical terms here. I have a strange issue where i am getting error message as port 8080 is refused while I am running the command via jenkins but it works fine when I run manually.

Command ran:  
kubectl apply -f \<kubernetes\_deployment.yml\>

Error in jenkins:  
“delta”: “0:00:00.049013”, “end”: “2022-04-26 14:47:53.248479”, “msg”: “non-zero return code”, “rc”: 1, “start”: “2022-04-26 14:47:53.199466”, “stderr”: “The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?”, “stderr\_lines”: [“The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?”], “stdout”: “”, “stdout\_lines”: }  
[WARNING]: Consider using ‘become’, ‘become\_method’, and ‘become\_user’ rather
