Explanation

EKS supports control plane logging sent directly to CloudWatch Logs. CloudWatch Container Insights provides metrics and logs collection for nodes and containers automatically with minimal setup. CloudWatch Logs Insights offers powerful querying and visualization integrated in AWS without managing additional infrastructure. Options A and C require deploying and managing additional components (Logstash, Event Exporter, S3, Athena). Option D adds complexity with OpenTelemetry and Redshift, which is more operationally heavy.
