      Using latest (4384) version of the Kubernetes plugin we observed memory leak on the Jenkins. Analyzing heap dump found that it is caused by Kubernetes clients that were marked as expired but were never closed.

      From comments of other people it seems to be cause by this change:

      https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin/pull/1747

       

      logs from KubernetesClientProvider: (Closing expired client log is never present)
