I have a Jenkins master - slave configured on Linux ec2 instance for automation test execution. The three slave instances were created by cloning the master instance. The configurations are as follows:
Java version - 1.8.0_191
Chrome version - 70
ChromeDriver version - 2.44

When I execute teh tests on the slave instances I get the below error:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: chrome not reachable

Below is the error in the console

When the test is executed on teh Master instance it works fine. The code used to initialise the driver is given below:

public static WebDriver getDriver(){

        //Get the current OS Version

        String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();

        ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

        chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");

       //Define the path of Chrome Driver on Test Server

        if(os.contains("linux")) {

            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver");

        }

        webdriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

        webdriver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920,1080));

        return webdriver;

    }

I have tried giving the path to binary as given in this question
and I tried upgrading to the latest versions as given in this question. Nothing works. I also tried adding the below code as well to initialise the browser.

public static WebDriver getDriver(){

        //Get the current OS Version

        String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();

        ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

        chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");



        //Define the path of Chrome Driver on Test Server

        if(os.contains("linux")) {

          chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");

          chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-setuid-sandbox");

          chromeOptions.addArguments("start-maximized");

          chromeOptions.addArguments("disable-infobars");

          chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-extensions");

          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver");

       }

        webdriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

        webdriver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920,1080));

        return webdriver;

    }

Note - These tests were working fine on all instances previously. The java version was updated from 1.8.0_171 to 1.8.0_191 on all 4 ec2 instances and since then the issue occurs.
