AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/api-archive-post.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' and adjusted related documentation links/text to reflect branding changes

Security assessment

Changes are purely branding/naming convention updates (removing 'S3' from service names) and do not alter security functionality. No security vulnerabilities, encryption details, or access control changes were modified. Existing security features like checksum validation and encryption references 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.
