AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/api-initiate-job-post.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the documentation, adjusted links to storage class documentation, and removed redundant 'S3' branding in terminology.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming convention updates (e.g., 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier') and do not introduce, modify, or address security-related content. No security vulnerabilities, policies, or features are discussed or altered in the diff.
