AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/data-retrieval-policy.md

Summary

Updated references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the document, including section headers, API names, console references, and links. Adjusted terminology to align with rebranded service names.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (e.g., 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier') and do not introduce, modify, or remove any security-related content. The data retrieval policy mechanics and security implications remain unchanged. No evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or security controls.

If you use a Free Tier Only policy, S3 Glacier synchronously rejects retrieval requests that exceed your AWS Free Tier allowance.

-Setting your data retrieval policy to the Max Retrieval Rate policy can affect how much of your AWS Free Tier allowance that you can use in a day. For example, suppose you set Max Retrieval Rate to 1 MB per hour. This is less than the AWS Free Tier policy rate. To ensure that you make good use of the daily AWS Free Tier allowance, you can first set your policy to Free Tier Only, and then switch to the Max Retrieval Rate policy later if you need to. For more information about how your retrieval allowance is calculated, go to [Amazon S3 Glacier FAQs](https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/faqs/).
