AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/security_iam_service-with-iam.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the document, removed redundant 'S3' branding in storage class references, and adjusted links/headings accordingly.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (removing 'S3' from service names) without altering security guidance, IAM policy examples, or access control mechanisms. No evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or modifying security controls.
