#### Description

For long builds with many images, all builds continue if one build fails early.
This can produce longer logs than desired, waste time and resources.

I would prefer if an arg was available to fail fast - if one build fails, the build would teminate all other builds. This would also help keep the log simple and it would be easier to find the cause.

#### Use Case(s)

Every time I automate a build, it would save costs and make debugging easier.
