My client has CloudBees deployed on OpenShift. They are trying to create a self-service environment where a new managed (or team) master can be automatically provisioned when a new project request is submitted/approved. Has anyone done this? Are there documented APIs to accomplish this?

James Nord Engineering There is a CLI that your provisioning tools can call. There is a CLI call for creating Teams and updating their membership, There is also a CLI for creating Managed Masters

Robert Patrick I tried using the cjoc cli managed-master-provision-and-start command but either I am doing something wrong or it does not work. What am I missing?
% java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s https://<my-org>.cloudbees.net/cjoc/ -auth admin:<redacted> managed-master-provision-and-start master2
ERROR: No such managed master exists: master2
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar managed-master-provision-and-start NAME [--username VAL] [--password VAL] [--password-file VAL]
Provisions and starts a Managed Master
NAME : Managed master name
--username VAL : User name to authenticate yourself to Jenkins
--password VAL : Password for authentication. Note that passing a
password in arguments is insecure.
--password-file VAL : File that contains the password%

Allan Burdajewicz Robert,
You need to provide the full name of the master. You can execute the following to get that information:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s https://<my-org>.cloudbees.net/cjoc/ -auth admin:<redacted> list-masters
Regards,

Daniel Ritchie Sounds like you have a good solution identified, but FYI because I recently stumbled across this code snippet:
