AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for standalone Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation timeline, and migration recommendations. While mentioning data remains 'secure and accessible', this is part of standard service continuity assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. No evidence of security fixes or new security features 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.
