Amazon CloudWatch Logs

2026/07/06 - Amazon CloudWatch Logs - 2 new api methods

Changes  Added PutStorageTierPolicy and GetStorageTierPolicy APIs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Customers can now configure account-level Intelligent Tiering to automatically optimize log storage costs by moving infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage tiers.

PutStorageTierPolicy (new) Link ¶

Sets the storage tier policy for your account. When you set the storage tier to INTELLIGENT_TIERING, CloudWatch Logs automatically moves your log data between storage tiers based on access patterns to optimize costs.
