Cloudformation remarks:

Idempotent (Re-run of Stack creation) : Currently you can only create/delete a stack. If part of the create fails, default is to rollback all. You can adjust that, but I found no way to re-run the create so that it would create the missing pieces. Also if you destroy an instance by hand, this would come in handy to rebuild part of the stack
Slowness: the creation process on paper look as if the dependencies are handled intelligently and possible speedier. I found creating individual instances in parallel faster than creating them in a stack
Throttling limit: if you delete, create stack again (f.i. because it failed), I often get errors for throtling limit. I think this limit is not imposed on the regular creation of instances.
If a creation fails, you have to delete the stack first. Maybe you need another state, so you don't need to delete it first (like state-terminated)
Name limit: this only accepts alphanum , no spaces or dashes to make it more readable in the console.

	findbugs is neither a valid file, URL, nor a plugin artifact name in the update center
	No update center data is retrieved yet from: http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json
	findbugs looks like a short plugin name. Did you mean 'null'?
