Hi,
Few days back I was having conversation with Pierre-Yves (Pingou)
about using jenkins-job-builder to create/configure/update jobs to
Jenkins.
Background:
Jenkins job builder[0] is used for openstack infra for managing a
large number of jobs on Jenkins. It uses yaml format to define a
job/job-template which can be used across project. It create a modular
structure of job definition so we can reuse a particular section
across jobs. Another great thing is we can have git repo for those
project configuration file and whenever a new project comes or need
update then Jenkins Git/Gerrit hook will trigger it (no more manual
configuration using jenkins-web).
I also create a JJB sample template [1] to demonstrate it's readiness
and manageability.
Let us know your point of view regarding this proposal.
