Function create_job must know what deployment to create a job in. It finds the correct deployment by getting the list (which requires a REST call) and looking for the one with the correct name. We can cache the results of this function to avoid the delay from the REST call.
A simple cache wouldn't work correctly if the deployment gets deleted during the lifetime of an instance of the library: it wouldn't realize that the deployment is gone, and would never update the cache. We therefore need to catch the corresponding errors, clear the cache, and try again.
