Unable to use cloudwatch group in several environments.

name = "/aws/ecs/${var.service}/${var.name}"

Since the service name could be the same across environments, it can cause conflicts when a CloudWatch group already exists while applying to another environment.

If I add the option to logDriver: awslogs-create-group = true, then I can't specify the retention size.

The only way to achieve this is to create a CloudWatch group outside of this module.
It would be great if the module could support a variable override for the CloudWatch group name.

What does this mean?

[bohdantverdyi]

I have two clusters: 'stage' and 'prod.' Both of them have an 'api' service, and the service name is the same in both the stage and prod clusters.

Cloudwatch group created by module will have attempt to create cloudwatch group with the same.
