**Tell us about your request**
EKS logging right now support Standard log class for both Control Plane and Data Plane. If we can enable Infrequent Access Log class for customer, that will save 60% of logging cost for them.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
There is no option to create Infrequent Access log class while setup of EKS cluster. Also, there is no mechanism to change Log Class post log group is created.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
No workaround as of now.

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or implementation entry points are mentioned. Start by clarifying the EKS logging and log-group lifecycle requirements; done means customers can choose Standard or Infrequent Access during cluster setup and change the class after the log group is created.
