AWS CloudWatch Log Group Cleaner

Deletes AWS CloudWatch Log Groups to keep test accounts tidy.

Description

This tool allows you to delete AWS CloudWatch Log Groups from test AWS accounts, which have not previously been created via Infrastructure as Code. For example, test Lambda function executions create their own CloudWatch Log Groups, which do not get deleted when you destroy the Lambda function resources. This script can tidy up unused Log Groups to keep your AWS test account tidy and prevent unnecessary cost expenditure.

The tool will search for AWS lambda-specific Log Groups and prompt you to delete the log group before making any destructive changes.
