👋 https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-datadog-lambda-forwarder/pull/30 🙏

@joshmyers I've released https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-datadog-lambda-forwarder/releases/tag/0.11.0

@joshmyers @Yonatan Koren if you don't mind may i ask few q about DD around your approach in configuration / paths taken

• if you go for DD lambda forwarder for logs & custom metrics built, isn't more cost efficient to stream all the logs to K Firehose -> DD and same using CW Metrics stream ?
• for Metrics, are you all using Metric API pooling which a) has a lag and b) can be quick pricey as you can't control the frequency the DD crawlers pull from ?
• for estates where you have > 2k lambdas (hence 2k CW log groups) how do you manage the subscription filter for DD fwd if the apps are being rollout w/o TF (say cdk ) ?
thanks in advance

Any thoughts on what https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-external-module-artifact/blob/master/main.tf#L20-L29 could be swapped out for? template_file data source has been deprecated and there are no arm64 builds available. template_file() expects to read an actual file

I requested and PR’d additional functionality into the terraform-aws-ec2-autoscale-group module yesterday but was denied because there is the ability to create the resource outside of the module, however I think it is a gap in CloudPosse’s coverage to not have any modules that create/manage an ECS cluster.

Is there an opportunity for re-evaluation of this denial, or otherwise, for CloudPosse to start and maintain a terraform-aws-ecs-cluster module?

hello!
on <https://registry.terraform.io/modules/cloudposse/ecs-container-definition/aws/latest> the example links are all broken...
can someone help direct me to where i can figure out how to incorporate multiple containers into the ecs service definition with this module? (i need a logging sidecar.)
