On setting up Jenkins Job Builder using a 'seed job'. This setup allows you to add a .jenkins directory to you project, define a yaml based jenkins job inside that directory, push to github, and Jenkins will create the job you defined - NO web UI required.
In other words you make Jenkins behave like Travis.
Set this up with your first job being a job to backup Jenkins to S3 and things aren't as bad to manage.

I'm currently looking into how JJB could be used for simple scheduled jobs. But isn't the setup described in the article basically the same what you can do with Jenkinsfile?
