Application logs for an existing licensing portal are scattered across instance disks with inconsistent retention. What monitoring/logging improvement should architects prioritize?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Logs that live only on a dying instance are diary pages in a shredder—ship them to CloudWatch Logs with retention and metric filters. Going dark or posting secrets in a public bucket is not a strategy.
Full Explanation
A coherent logging strategy centralizes application logs in CloudWatch Logs (or equivalent centralized store), applies retention aligned to policy, and uses metric filters/alarms for operations signals. Local-only ephemeral logs, disabled logging, and public unrestricted log buckets all degrade operational excellence and security for existing solutions.
