AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice, and clarified vault lock documentation with updated links and terminology.
Security assessment
The changes are primarily branding updates and deprecation notices. While vault locking is a security feature, the documentation updates do not introduce new security capabilities or address vulnerabilities. The term 'secure' in the deprecation notice refers to existing functionality, not a security-related change.

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.
