Occasionally a pipeline fails due to a failure to connect to the pluginAuthZPlugin.AuthZRes. Here is the docker error log:

Googling did not help much. Anybody any ideas?

Are there any updates on this issue? It happens very occasionally with `docker tag` or `docker push` commands. Can I provide some more logs or something else to help?

I don't know what to do here, as it happens very randomly & sometimes we can't deploy for several hours. So for us it's a serious blocker at the moment.

I don't know if it's a fix or if Atlassian fixed something, but since I added the following to my bitbucket-pipelines.yml file I did not get this error anymore:

definitions:
  services:
    docker:      
      memory: 2048

Seems to be still a problem....

Our tests are not that big that is should be a problem with 2048 memory. 

This is really a waist of time, have to build 5-10 times until it get trough.

happens intermittently but it's more or less on memory/cache issue (most of the times), try to re-run or increase the memory
