Using Jenkins Job Builder to Easily Manage Your Jobs
summary
Jenkins Job Builder converts YAML job templates and project macros into real Jenkins job XML, checked into Git and applied via the JJB CLI or an updater job that runs on a schedule (demo shows an updater job triggering every 30 minutes). Three templates multiplied by four topologies produces twelve jobs automatically; created jobs appear without no Jenkins restart. JJB talks to Jenkins over the API, supports many plugins (workflow was missing then), allows custom-plugin extensions, and the demo creates jobs and triggers builds though some provisioning steps fail independently.
