Rollback

When creating a CloudFormation stack, you are given the option of disabling rollback. Before you go ahead and set this to true, keep in mind that this setting persists beyond stack creation. We've ended up in precarious situations where updating an existing stack has failed (for some reason) but rollback has been disabled. This is a fun situation for no one.
