Error when VGW tries to connect to SMS-gateway #220

Hi,
I have the voice gateway and sms gateway both deployed into the same Kubernetes cluster hosted on IBM Cloud.
Essentially, I am following those tutorials:

The aim is to trigger Watson Assistant, through voice call, to send a simple sms.
I completed succesfully the first tutorial, so now I have a voice assistant deployed on Kubernetes.
I also have the sms-gateway deployed on the same cluster.

Within Watson Assistant I have a node with the following action:

 "vgwAction": {
      "command": "vgwActSendSMS",
      "parameters": {
        "message": "This is a test message from Watson"
      }
    }

So when I call the dedicated Twilio number, Watson replies directly to me.
Then, I ask to send a message and it enteres the node that contains the vgwActSendSMS command.
However, nothing happens and if I check the VGW logs (sip-orchestrator pod) into Kubernetes I have this error:

[ERROR ] CWSGW00126E: A failure occurred when trying to send an SMS message. reason = Error response received from SMS Gateway: java.net.ConnectException: Timeout connecting to [sms-gateway/172.21.220.27:9080] sessionID = d1d28a0a-0923-408a-91a8-211d9019b345 tenantID = sip:[email protected]:5060;transport=tcp

It is clear that is a matter of connection parameters. However I cannot find what is wrong in my configuration.

This is the yaml of my sip-orchestrator:

        "strategy": {
            "type": "Recreate"
        }
    },
    "status": {}
}

Could you explain why the VGW does not connect the SMS-Gateway?

Thanks in advance,
