CDK guide for existing AWS cross account log sharing tutorial?

Question

Hello, I followed the following guide using AWS CLI: 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/CrossAccountSubscriptions-Kinesis.html

I actually want to implement the same thing using CDK and was wondering if there is an easy way to translate all these AWS CLI commands to CDK code, or existing constructs we can use?

I assume this setup should be easy to mirror in CDK since its all just cloud formation underneath but I imagine I would have to define a bunch of inline policies maybe.  Especially the cross account permissions.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

there is a higher level CDK contruct that you could leverage: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_logs_destinations.KinesisDestination.html which supports cross-account destinations natively https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_logs.CrossAccountDestination.html
