      I previously checked in my entire Jenkins configuration into git for backup purposes.

      These days, I snapshot EBS volumes for backup.

      In the interests of security, I would like to rotate the sensitive files in the Jenkins configuration in order to help keep things secure. Those files appear to be:

      • secrets/hudson.util.Secret
      • secrets/master.key

      Can someone please advise me as to how I can safely rotate those keys while also keeping my Jenkins server running smoothly?
