Selected Answer: B

A - You can't use CloudWatch to query anything. You have to use CloudWatch Logs Insights, but even then - you can't use it to query S3. B - Correct. Very simple to configure and use. C - Why would you use this complex solution? RedShift is super expensive. D - This is viable too, but you want your logs in CloudWatch not S3.

Option B is correct.. We cannot send cloud watch agent logs directly to the S3, we will have to use lambda function to send each logs to S3.. thats why better solution is to use B

The features of cloud watch logs insights. Otherwise yes D also works, but B is “better”

I don't think CloudWatch Agent can "send" logs to s3. You can only export them to s3 later, from log group
