AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Create and Manage Lambda Log Groups

The video tutorial discusses the importance of logs in applications and how to manage them using AWS CloudWatch log groups. It covers creating and managing log groups, setting naming conventions and removal policies, and deploying and testing stacks using Visual Studio. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of cleaning up log groups to avoid unnecessary costs and provides practical steps for implementing these processes.

What is the primary purpose of collecting logs in cloud environments?

• To increase application speed

• To enhance user interface design

• To monitor application performance and debug issues

• To reduce server costs

What is a recommended practice for managing log groups in AWS?

• Create log groups manually in the AWS console

• Store logs locally on the server

• Avoid using log groups to save costs

• Use AWS CDK or CloudFormation stacks to manage log groups

What is a potential consequence of not managing log retention properly?

• Increased application performance

• Reduced server costs

• Unnecessary costs due to retained logs

• Improved user experience

Why is it important to set a removal policy for log groups?

• To ensure log groups are retained indefinitely

• To automatically delete log groups when the stack is deleted

• To increase the size of log groups

• To prevent log groups from being accessed

What tool is mentioned for deploying and testing Lambda functions?

• Eclipse

• Visual Studio

• NetBeans

• AWS CLI

What happens to a log group if the stack is deleted without a removal policy?

• The log group is archived

• The log group remains in the account

• The log group is transferred to another account

• The log group is automatically deleted

Why is it beneficial to experiment with log group policies in different environments?

• To increase the complexity of log management

• To reduce the number of log groups

• To optimize log management based on environment needs

• To ensure consistent log retention across all environments
