AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated 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 announcements, and migration recommendations. No security vulnerabilities, patches, or security feature enhancements are mentioned. The reference to data remaining 'secure and accessible' is a general assurance rather than a new security measure.

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.
