Created a brand new rack with `convox rack install aws --name convox-rack-testing`, and right after the rack was created, tried to enable private networking with `convox rack params set Private=Yes --wait`.

However this won’t work, and CloudFormation will fail with the following log:

```auto
system/aws/cfm convox-rack-testing UPDATE_FAILED VolumeTarget1 Mount target is not stabilized, the current lifeCycleState is available.
system/aws/cfm convox-rack-testing UPDATE_FAILED VolumeTarget0 Resource update cancelled
system/aws/cfm convox-rack-testing UPDATE_FAILED VolumeTarget2 Resource update cancelled

```

Rollback operation will also fail:

```auto
system/aws/cfm convox-rack-testing UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED convox-rack-testing The following resource(s) failed to update: [VolumeTarget1, VolumeTarget0, VolumeTarget2].

```

It also happened on a working rack. After this failure, the deploy/promote of apps was broken.  
To solve that we had to rollback manually from aws console, then terminate 1 by 1 all instances.  
Then, after new instances have been launched, the rack functionality was recovered (deploy promote has been working again)

I had the same thing happen last week, including the broken promote of apps. Fortunately it was our development rack, so we ended up creating a whole new rack and migrating all the apps.

Nope. The problem is still there. 🙁
