This assumes you have already configured the aws command line tool. If not, check out my article on Getting Started with the AWS CLI.
The aws logs create-log-group command can be used to create a Log Group.
aws logs create-log-group --log-group my-log-group
Then the aws logs describe-log-groups command can be used to show that the Log Group has been created.
~]$ aws logs describe-log-groups --query 'logGroups[?logGroupName==`my-log-group`]'
[
{
"logGroupName": "my-log-group",
"creationTime": 1696902696435,
"metricFilterCount": 0,
"arn": "arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:123456789012:log-group:my-log-group:*",
"storedBytes": 0
}
]
