I've been doing some Amazon AWS tinkering for a project that pulls in a decent amount of data. The majority of the services have been super cheap, however, log storage for Cloud Watch is dominating the bill, cloud watch log storage is $13 of the total $18 bill. I'm already deleting logs as I go.
How do I get rid of the logs from storage (removing the groups from the console doesn't seem to be doing it) or lower the cost of the logs (this post indicated it should be $0.03/GB which mine is more than that) or something else?
What strategies are people using?
