CloudWatch Logs Retention Periods
If you’re not familiar with CloudWatch Logs its a feature of the CloudWatch service which allows us to persist logs from applications and operating systems on the AWS platform.
Once you’ve installed - and configured - the Unified CloudWatch Log agent, you’re able to gather logs from both EC2 and Server instances (on-premise).
By default, CloudWatch Logs stores log data indefinitely. This is fantastic, but we need to remember that we pay for log storage. While the costs are not high, this is one of those services that can quietly sneak up on you and end up costing a fair amount every month.
