CloudWatch Logs Class Change

The AWS CloudWatch service should only be a small part of the cloud bill. For the log collection, AWS announced a new log class (Infrequent Access) that is cheaper by 50% than the current log class (standard). There are two log collection types, and we need to identify them to calculate the costs and savings:

  1. Standard log: All log types. Fixed costs.
  2. Vended log: Specific AWS service logs natively published by AWS services on behalf of the customer and available at volume discount pricing. Costs based on usage.
