AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for standalone Amazon Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve service naming consistency, deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. While vault locking is a security feature, the documentation updates do not address vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or security incidents. The deprecation notice emphasizes continued data security for existing users but does not introduce new security controls or fixes.

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.
