Dear Beats Team, you are awesome and love to see the new project go GA. This is timely as we're in our transition to Elastic. Several questions if I may:

1. Is it unclear in the documentation that role that is needed for AWS. Here we provided keys limited to the specific policies / roles needed and thus need some clear guidance on what the policy need to be so I can request
2. I want to ship all Lambda based Cloudwatch Logs. Based on the current documentation it seems like I need to specifically add the pattern(s) into the function to collect. Is the recursive functionality?
3. Looking at the tar there is no specific code that I could manually deploy via lambda console or use during our Build Pipeline. It seems like I have to use the binaries of function beat to generate?

Look forward to responses.

Wayne
