When your Jenkins landscape grows with multiple pipeline jobs and projects, the maintenance of the same will become a burden for the engineers. To mitigate such scenarios, Jenkins Job Builder really comes in handy. Jenkins Job Builder takes simple descriptions of Jenkins jobs in YAML or JSON format and uses them to configure Jenkins. You can keep your job descriptions in human-readable text format in a version control system to make changes and auditing easier.

1. Python 3 and Pip 3

2. Jenkins API Token
