AWS whitepapers documentation change

Service: whitepapers · 2026-06-19 · Documentation medium

File: whitepapers/latest/aws-security-incident-response-guide/select-log-storage.md

Summary

Removed entire content including guidance on selecting log storage solutions (S3/CloudWatch) for security investigations

Security assessment

Content removal eliminates security documentation about log storage best practices but shows no evidence of patching a vulnerability. Loss of storage guidance could affect incident response capabilities but isn't tied to a specific security issue.

-# Select log storage
-
-The choice of log storage is generally related to which querying tool you use, retention capabilities, familiarity, and cost. When you enable AWS service logs, provide a storage facility; usually an Amazon S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group. 
-
-An Amazon S3 bucket provides cost-effective durable storage with an optional lifecycle policy. Logs stored in Amazon S3 buckets can be natively queried using services such as Amazon Athena. A CloudWatch log group provides durable storage and a built-in query facility through CloudWatch Logs Insights.
