table looks good inside terminal but messy inside cloudwatch logs

I'm not sure how much sense it is to output a table in line-based logging, given that the cloudwatch viewer seems to be squashing multiple spaces into one, which PrettyTable has no control over.

One thing you could do is avoid ANSI colouring the text, that would skip the 0;32; etc codes.
