AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for new customers after 2025, and emphasized migration to S3 Glacier storage classes with updated links
Security assessment
Changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation timelines, and migration guidance. While the notice mentions data remains 'secure and accessible', this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability or introducing new security features. No encryption, access control, or vulnerability mitigation details were added.

Amazon Glacier is a standalone service with its own APIs that stores data in vaults and is distinct from Amazon S3 and the Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes. Your existing data will remain secure and accessible in Amazon Glacier indefinitely. No migration is required. For low-cost, long-term archival storage, AWS recommends the [Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/), which deliver a superior customer experience with S3 bucket-based APIs, full AWS Region availability, lower costs, and AWS service integration.
