feat(logging): add log_class parameter to all CloudWatch log groups

Brend-Smits · Brend-Smits · commit c415a6f6ac50 · 2026-03-03T13:43:41.000+01:00
Extends the log_class parameter to all CloudWatch log groups managed by
the module, allowing users to set INFREQUENT_ACCESS class to reduce costs.

Log groups updated:
- runner-binaries-syncer (syncer)
- ami-housekeeper
- runners (scale-down, scale-up, ssm-housekeeper)
- runners/pool
- webhook/direct
- webhook/eventbridge (webhook, dispatcher)
- lambda module (shared)
- termination-watcher
- multi-runner (passthrough to all submodules)

Defaults to STANDARD for backward compatibility.
