Race condition when updating log retention policy

[artem-nefedov]

While using new "logRetentionInDays" field added in eksctl 0.73.0, we sometimes randomly observe the error during cluster creation:

[✔]  configured CloudWatch logging for cluster "test-cluster" in "us-west-2" (enabled types: audit, authenticator, scheduler & disabled types: api, controllerManager)
[!]  1 error(s) occurred and cluster hasn't been created properly, you may wish to check CloudFormation console
[ℹ]  to cleanup resources, run 'eksctl delete cluster --region=us-west-2 --name=test-cluster'
[✖]  error updating log retention settings: ResourceNotFoundException: The specified log group does not exist.

The reproduction rate isn't too high, but high enough to be the problem (around 10%). It seems that there's a race condition in play here.

Interesting find. We do wait for the UpdateClusterConfig operation to complete before issuing a call to logs:PutRetentionPolicy but looks like that does not ensure the log group for the control plane is created. We'll investigate this and get back to you soon.

Not stale, this still needs to be resolved.

@cPu1 what is required to resolve this. Are we waiting for anything from aws?

Running into this problem as well with v0.95.0
