AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/downloading-an-archive-two-steps.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the document, adjusted links, and simplified branding terminology.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming convention updates (removing 'S3' from service names) and link adjustments. No security vulnerabilities, encryption changes, access control modifications, or incident-related content was introduced or altered. Existing security-related mentions (e.g., encryption features, data retrieval policies) remain unchanged in substance.
