I am trying to use jenkins and kubernetesplugin. I deployed a kubernetes cluster in AWS using kubeadm and I installed jenkins on a EC2 VM.

I am trying to initiate the deployment of pods in the kubernetes clusters using pipelines in jenkins.

However I keep getting an agent time out:

My pod is running but there is no response from the slave pod and the message states that

JNLP agent port is disabled and agents cannot connect this way

this is my current set up

podTemplate(cloud: 'kubernetes', label: 'mypod',containers: [
    containerTemplate(name: 'golang', image: 'golang:1.8.0', ttyEnabled: true, command: 'cat')
  ]) {

    node('mypod') {

        stage('Get a Golang project') {
            git url: 'https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform.git'
            container('golang') {
                stage('Build a Go project') {
                    sh 'echo hello world'
                }
            }
        }

    }
}
