I get this error:  
[org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.strategy.OnePool] (ServerService Thread Pool – 64) IJ000604: Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null: javax.resource.ResourceException: IJ031084: Unable to create connection

And here is the deployment:

Hey,  
How did you resolve the issue?  
Can you provide your and the manifests files you used for deployment in kubernetes? I need to connect to MSSQL server remotely from the KC pod.
