Can we use Jenkins for that?

At work we use Jenkins Job Builder http://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/#content... to maintain jobs using JSON or YAML files. As a result we rarely have to deal with the Jenkins web UI and that's alright :)

Jenkins Job Builder is, IME, the only way to keep complex Jenkins configs sane. Did you know that Jenkins is constantly rewriting its own XML config? We've had Jenkins itself corrupt its own config (with some combination of active plugins).

Keeping your configs in YAML in source control is such a win. Not a fan of Jenkins, BTW.

Every time I install Jenkins, I install the thinBackup plugin. Losing your configuration is way too common, but it's easy to restore.
