• e2e pipelines using Kubernetes plugin
• Jenkins hardening, disable insecure options

User configuration:

• configure seed jobs and deploy keys
• e2e tests for seed jobs
• configure Jenkins authorization (via configuration as a code plugin or groovy scripts)
• backup and restore for Jenkins jobs running as standalone job (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• trigger backup job before pod deletion using preStop k8s hooks
• verify Jenkins configuration events
