👍 thanks As discussed on Slack I will open.a support case on CloudBees side to study the instability issue of linux agents. I will verify that there is nothing wrong in the new setup (but I found nothing bad personally which could create such issue) The major change when we compare ci-builds and ci-maven environments is that our agents are now running on Azure and sadly I heard about similar issues in others communities using Azure like Jenkins I will check if we can find a solution or if we can give enough details to Gavin to open a case on Azure side too. If we really don't find any solution with Azure we'll see with Gavin to deploy our agents somewhere else (but let's try to give a chance to Azure first)
