Before this change, the copy lambda creates a log group which never expires. When you manage lots of AWS accounts and you want to make sure that all cloudwatch log groups expire at some point, this can get very annoying. I renamed the logical id of the function, so that a new function is created and therefore we get a chance to create the log group. Otherwise the stack would fail since there would be already an existing log group.

I think it would be ideal to have the policy as a conditional, if the log group already exists, then don't create it. That way we can ensure that there are no breaking changes, what do you think about this? |

Hey @elruwen, Let me know if you get to an alternative, I tried but fail multiple times. I'm afraid we might have to end up adding a breaking change at the end 😅 |
