AWS Lambda adds support for Amazon CloudWatch Logs Live Tail in VS Code IDE

AWS Lambda now supports [Amazon CloudWatch Logs Live Tail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudwatchlogs-view.html#monitoring-live-tail) in VS Code IDE through the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. Live Tail is an interactive log streaming and analytics capability which provides real-time visibility into logs, making it easier to develop and troubleshoot Lambda functions. We previously announced support for [Live Tail in the Lambda console](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/simplifying-lambda-function-development-using-cloudwatch-logs-live-tail-and-metrics-insights/), enabling developers to view and analyze Lambda logs in real time. Now, with Live Tail support in VS Code IDE, developers can monitor Lambda function logs in real time while staying within their development environment, eliminating the need to switch between multiple interfaces for coding and log analysis. This makes it easier for developers to quickly test and validate code or configuration changes in real time, accelerating the author-test-deploy cycle when building applications using Lambda. This integration also makes it easier to detect and debug failures and critical errors in Lambda function code, reducing the mean time to recovery (MTTR) when troubleshooting Lambda function errors. Using Live Tail for Lambda in VS Code IDE is straightforward. After installing the latest version of the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, developers can access Live Tail through the AWS Explorer panel. Simply navigate to the desired Lambda function, right-click, and select "Tail Logs" to begin streaming logs in real time.
