AWS amazonglacier documentation change

Service: amazonglacier · 2025-10-01 · Documentation low

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/amazon-glacier-accessing.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the document, adjusted links, and clarified documentation scope for legacy API users.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (removing 'S3' from service names) and link adjustments. No security-related content was added, removed, or modified. Existing security mentions (e.g., HTTPS usage, authentication requirements) remain unchanged.

-If you're looking for archival storage solutions we suggest using the S3 Glacier storage classes in Amazon S3, **S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval** , **S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval** , and **S3 Glacier Deep Archive**. To learn more about these storage options, see [S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/) and [Long-term data storage using S3 Glacier storage classes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/glacier-storage-classes) in the _Amazon S3 User Guide_. These storage classes use the Amazon S3 API, are available in all regions, and can be managed within the Amazon S3 console. They offer features like Storage Cost Analysis, Storage Lens, advanced optional encryption features, and more.

-Amazon S3 Glacier is a RESTful web service that uses HTTP and HTTPS as a transport protocol and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as a message-serialization format. Your application code can make requests directly to the S3 Glacier web service API. When using the REST API directly, you must write the necessary code to sign and authenticate your requests. For more information about the API, see [API Reference for Amazon S3 Glacier](./amazon-glacier-api.html).
