Answer 1

You may use any of the configuration management tool like ansible, chef or capistrano as jenkins jobs so that they can do your work with jenkins. You can mention the number of servers under the capistrano cookbook and whenever you will build the job it will run your task on all servers.

There is also a tool like pssh(parallel ssh), In case you want to use ssh.
