Tell us about your request EKS logging right now support Standard log class for both Control Plane and Data Plane. If we can enable Infrequent Access Log class for customer, that will save 60% of logging cost for them.

Which service(s) is this request for? EKS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? There is no option to create Infrequent Access log class while setup of EKS cluster. Also, there is no mechanism to change Log Class post log group is created.

Are you currently working around this issue? No workaround as of now.

There is one workaround, before you create a new cluster, you can pre-create the log group in CW using the naming convention EKS uses /aws/eks/<cluster-name>/cluster
