AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/glacier-api-permissions-ref.md

Summary

Consistently changed 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' in service references and API documentation. Updated IAM integration documentation to reflect current service naming.

Security assessment

Modifications focus on branding terminology rather than security controls. Permissions model (glacier: API actions, resource ARNs) and policy examples remain unchanged. No new security guidance or vulnerability mitigations are introduced.

-To specify an action, use the `glacier:` prefix followed by the API operation name (for example, `glacier:CreateVault`). For most S3 Glacier actions, `Resource` is the vault on which you want to grant the permissions. You specify a vault as the `Resource` value by using the vault ARN. To express conditions, you use predefined condition keys.
