Easy install and upgrade:
- Provide CloudFormation quick launch URL for "one-click" install (try me out)
- Host versioned CloudFormation templates in S3 for upgrade (rollback) to a specific version
- Add required IAM permissions to the execution role automatically
- Keep forwarder existing settings, such as environment variables through upgrade
- Group parameters into multiple groups for an organized user interface
Support infrastructure as code:
- Expose all the forwarder settings, such as memory size, timeout and
DD_environment variables as CloudFormation parameters - Export the forwarder lambda ARN as a CloudFormation output
General improvements:
- Upgrade the Lambda runtime from Python 2.7 to Python 3.7
- Store Datadog API Key in AWS Secrets Manager by default
- Reduce forwarder's own log retention default from forever to 90 days
- Add a release script for release automation
- Use github releases to notify users of new versions
- Attach function.zip to github releases for manual install/upgrade if needed
- Add additional debug logs
