 | LambdaFunctionUrlAuth | The Lambda Function URL allows for public, unauthenticated access. | AWS Lambda Function URLs allow you to invoke your function via a HTTPS end-point, setting the authentication to NONE allows anyone on the internet to invoke your function. |
+| LambdaLogging | The Lambda Function does not define an explicit Log Level | For cost optimization purposes, you should explicitly define the required log level for cost effective storage of Lambda Logs. |
