Originally released in 2011 as a fork of the Hudson project, Jenkins has become one of the cornerstones of modern DevOps workflows. It is primarily used for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD), automating software builds, tests, deployments, and all kinds of recurring administrative tasks. If a process can be automated, Jenkins can probably handle it. 😎</p>https://www.apt-upgrade.me/2026/03/31/wordpress-on-k3s-a-nerdy-layered-update-strategy/Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:26:24 +0200https://www.apt-upgrade.me/2026/03/31/wordpress-on-k3s-a-nerdy-layered-update-strategy/<p>This article is a direct continuation of the previous guide.

Think of it as a layered onion of updates — each layer independently maintainable, yet fully composable. <em>It also serves as a personal reference — a kind of living documentation — until these workflows become second nature to me 😉</em></p>
