Hi AWX team, We have k8s deployment of AWX on EKS cluster. Issue I’m facing is Jobs fail intermittently with below error. Next second I run same job it runs fine. I tried google around but could not find any solution. Is this a known issue? What is fix/workaround of this issue? **Stdout of failed job** : Traceback (most recent call last): File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py”, line 457, in run self.pre\_run\_hook(self.instance, private\_data\_dir) File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py”, line 970, in pre\_run\_hook RunProjectUpdate.make\_local\_copy(job.project, private\_data\_dir, scm\_revision=job\_revision) File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py”, line 1374, in make\_local\_copy git.Repo.clone\_from( File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/git/repo/base.py”, line 1019, in clone\_from return cls.\_clone(git, url, to\_path, GitCmdObjectDB, progress, multi\_options, \*\*kwargs) File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/git/repo/base.py”, line 960, in \_clone finalize\_process(proc, stderr=stderr) File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/git/util.py”, line 328, in finalize\_process proc.wait(\*\*kwargs) File “/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/git/cmd.py”, line 408, in wait raise GitCommandError(self.args, status, errstr) git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd(‘git’) failed due to: exit code(-9) cmdline: git clone --branch=awx\_internal/de9a0c84-3209-4c3b-8222-182440e579d4 --depth=1 --single-branch -v file:///var/lib/awx/projects/\_493\_\_kc1\_azure\_automations /tmp/awx\_34605\_50jrcqp5/project stderr: 'Cloning into ‘/tmp/awx\_34605\_50jrcqp5/project’… Updating files: 4% (173/3704) Updating files: 5% (186/3704) Updating files: 6% (223/3704) Updating files: 7% (260/3704) Updating files: 8% (297/3704) Updating files: 9% (334/3704) Updating files: 10% (371/3704) Updating files: 11% (408/3704) Updating files: 12% (445/3704) Updating files: 13% (482/3704) Updating files: 14% (519/3704) Updating files: 15% (556/3704) Updating files: 16% (593/3704) Updating files: 17% (630/3704) Updating files: 18% (667/3704) Updating files: 19% (704/3704) Updating files: 20% (741/3704) Updating files: 21% (778/3704) Updating files: 22% (815/3704) Updating files: 23% (852/3704) Updating files: 24% (889/3704) Updating files: 25% (926/3704) Updating files: 26% (964/3704) Updating files: 27% (1001/3704) Updating files: 28% (1038/3704) Updating files: 29% (1075/3704) Updating files: 30% (1112/3704) Updating files: 31% (1149/3704) Updating files: 32% (1186/3704) Updating files: 33% (1223/3704) Updating files: 34% (1260/3704) Updating files: 35% (1297/3704) Updating files: 36% (1334/3704) Updating files: 37% (1371/3704) Updating files: 38% (1408/3704) Updating files: 39% (1445/3704) Updating files: 40% (1482/3704) Updating files: 41% (1519/3704) Updating files: 42% (1556/3704) Updating files: 43% (1593/3704) Updating files: 44% (1630/3704) Updating files: 45% (1667/3704) Updating files: 46% (1704/3704) Updating files: 47% (1741/3704) Updating files: 48% (1778/3704) Updating files: 48% (1796/3704) Updating files: 49% (1815/3704) ’ ---

Could be a bug in the gitpython module, lots of hits on google around this error e.g [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/discussions/1432](https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/discussions/1432) ---

Hi, Wondering if this error is specific to the EKS cluster deployment, have you tried testing AWX on something like Kind, k3s, or minikube to see if the problem exists there? might be a useful exercise to narrow down the problem. Let us know what you find AWX Team ---

Also, which version of AWX are you on? we addressed an issue around this in 21.5.0 [https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/21.5.0](https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/21.5.0) particularly this PR [https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/12356](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/12356)
