I couldn't find any pictures(examples) of how AWS CodeBuild and CloudWatch logs integration looks like, therefore I've snapped some myself.

It looks alright and usable, especially logs available in build status. Better than fishing logs from S3.

Previously, I was praising AWS CodeBuild and CloudWatch Logs integration. Today, it's something else :) I was in need of quick-and-dirty CodeBuild project in order to try something. I've made couple mistakes along the way, but I still think and it's possible there are cases when logs won't appear in CloudWatch and when you still need to offload logs to S3 bucket.

I had to setup S3 bucket(so much for quick) in order to get to the bottom of what exactly is wrong.
