AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/api-job-output-get.md

Summary

Updated service branding from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' and adjusted references to storage classes and API documentation. Clarified checksum verification process for job outputs.

Security assessment

The changes primarily involve branding terminology updates (e.g., 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier') and documentation consistency improvements. While checksum verification is mentioned for data integrity, this is standard operational guidance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. No new security features or vulnerabilities are introduced.

-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.
