cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main

then apt-get update is failing.

If i remove the second line then above command is working fine.

I checked in the repositories. there is no folder with name jessie-updates.

We have many docker builds which requires apt-get update.

I can't update all the docker files to remove that second line.

What is best approach to go ahead and also if they are removed permanently or a temporary glitch

According to the IRC channel for Debian, jessie-updates is now not supported:

Oldstable: Debian Jessie, jessie-updates and jessie-backports REMOVED 2019-03-24

Your solution is either to upgrade to Stretch, or update your /etc/apt/sources.list to the following:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main

deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main

jessie-updates has been removed and jessie-backports has been archived

Thanks to comments from Stephen Kitt & Daniel below.

The debian Team did not move jessie-updates to the archive repository (yet). But they already removed it from the regular repositories. So you currently have no access to jessie-updates. Therefore you need to remove it from the sources.list.

My currently working sources.list:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main

While the other answers with deb combinations from this thread and others of the stackexchange network, including very similar ones, did not fix it for me, this one does :

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main

in /etc/apt/sources.list.

It fixed both 404 and gpg key warnings, while the most upvoted does not today for me

Jessie is no longer supported. They have taken it off the automatic updates for security reasons.

You need to do a full reinstall of bionic beaver.

At least that’s what I did.
