Missing AWS Construct Library for AWS::Logs resources

[eladb]

AWS::Logs includes:

• AWS::Logs::Destination
• AWS::Logs:LogGroup
• AWS::Logs::LogStream
• AWS::Logs::MetricFilter
• AWS::Logs::SubscriptionFilter

[eladb]

As a workaround, one can use the generated resources for CloudWatch Logs in @aws-cdk/resources:

import { logs } from '@aws-cdk/resources'

new logs.LogGroupResource(this, 'MyLogGroup,' { /* ... */ });

Notes about future design:

• We should probably set a default retention period (1 or 2 years), infinite retention should be opt-in (imho). The usual case will be retaining logs over a well-defined period of time (for compliance reasons) and also we don't want to encourage customer to accumulate ever-increasing charges.
• We should probably set all LogGroups to DeletionPolicy::Retain (unless overridden). If log groups and the associated resources are replaced in the course of a regular deployment (looking at you, Lamda), we don't want to delete all logs. Our normal retention period will take care of eventually aging out the log data, so again we're not accumulating endlessly.
