Logging and retention - Dynamic Image Transformation for Amazon CloudFront

Logging and retention

CloudWatch log retention

The ECS architecture maintains separate log groups with different retention policies:

  • Admin API logs: 10 years retention for audit and compliance purposes

  • Image processing logs: 10 years retention for operational monitoring and troubleshooting

Log retention policies are automatically configured during deployment and help balance operational visibility with storage costs.
