AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/getting-started-download-archive.md

Summary

Updated references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the documentation, including service names, links, and section headers. No functional changes to the download process or security features.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (removing 'S3' from service references). There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities, patching weaknesses, or modifying security-related configurations. The existing mention of 'advanced optional encryption features' remains unchanged.
