Reffering to http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/firecloud/discussion/8805/connect-timed-out#latest
I submitted the same WDL, but on a different data entity than the data entity used for the submission in the above-referenced post.
I observed the same "connect timed out" message in submitting to this different data entity, but
upon re-submitting I did not see the "connect timed out" again. All this seems to suggest that the
issue is transient.
