Why AWS Volumes stuck in attaching state

Issue

• We have an application using a persistent volume (Jenkins to be specific).
  Often after several application redeploys (eg. after new build or deleting a pod), the volume is stuck in Attaching state in AWS. As a result, the application can no longer be deployed anymore, deleting the pod does not help. To fix the issue, I have to force detach the volume in AWS console. The AWS UI reports a problem with volumes on the instance where it occurs and the system is never back to healthy state without manual intervention.
