AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/getting-started-create-vault.md

Summary

Updated branding from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the documentation, including service references, console names, and links. No functional changes to vault creation steps.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (removing 'S3' from service names) and do not introduce, modify, or address any security-related content. Existing mentions of encryption features remain unchanged.
