News
Amazon CloudWatch Logs announces intelligent storage tiering that automatically classifies log data across three tiers based on access patterns, reducing storage costs without operational overhead.
- Automatically reclassifies data not accessed for 30 days to Infrequent Access tier
- Moves data not accessed for 90 days to Archive Instant Access tier
- Automatically promotes accessed data back to Standard tier for 30 days
- Maintains consistent query experience across all storage tiers
- Consolidates logs in CloudWatch to reduce MTTR and eliminate multi-tool management
- Available in all AWS commercial regions except Middle East (Bahrain and UAE)
- Enable via AWS Management Console, SDKs, or AWS CLI at account level
Intelligent tiering enables cost-effective long-term log retention in CloudWatch with unified visibility and analysis.
