Amazon CloudWatch

This is the documentation for the core Fluent Bit CloudWatch plugin written in C. It can replace the aws/amazon-cloudwatch-logs-for-fluent-bit Golang Fluent Bit plugin released last year. The Golang plugin was named ; this new high performance CloudWatch plugin is called to prevent conflicts/confusion.
