Amazon S3 server access logs now deliver to Amazon CloudWatch Logs and Amazon S3 Tables
Amazon S3 now supports delivering server access logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, giving you instant querying, alarms, cross-account and cross-Region aggregation, and AWS Key Management Service (KMS) encryption for your access log data. You can also mirror your logs to Amazon S3 Tables in Apache Iceberg format at no additional storage cost. These new delivery paths complement the existing free delivery of server access logs to S3 general purpose buckets, giving you more flexibility in how you monitor and analyze access to your data. With delivery to CloudWatch Logs, you can set alarms on error r
The continuous evolution of cloud infrastructure necessitates more sophisticated data observability and analysis tools to meet increasing compliance and operational demands.
Organizations can now integrate S3 access logs with CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and alarms, and leverage Iceberg format in S3 Tables for cost-effective, advanced analytics, improving data governance and operational efficiency.
S3 access logs are no longer limited to basic S3 bucket delivery, allowing direct integration with CloudWatch Logs for enhanced observability and mirroring to S3 Tables in Apache Iceberg for deeper analysis.
