AWS amazonglacier documentation change

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

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/uploading-an-archive.md

Summary

Updated branding references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' and adjusted related documentation links. Removed redundant 'S3' prefix in service names and clarified compatibility for existing Glacier vault users.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (e.g., 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier') and documentation link adjustments. There is no evidence of security vulnerability fixes, security configuration changes, or new security guidance. The mention of 'advanced optional encryption features' was already present in the original text and remains unchanged.

-To upload existing data to Amazon S3 Glacier (S3 Glacier), you might consider using one of the AWS Snowball Edge device types to import data into Amazon S3, and then move it to the S3 Glacier storage class for archival using lifecycle rules. When you transition Amazon S3 objects to the S3 Glacier storage class, Amazon S3 internally uses S3 Glacier for durable storage at lower cost. Although the objects are stored in S3 Glacier, they remain Amazon S3 objects that you manage in Amazon S3, and you cannot access them directly through S3 Glacier.
