AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier' and added deprecation notice for original standalone Glacier service. Added migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes with December 2025 cutoff for new customers.
Security assessment
The changes are primarily service branding updates and lifecycle announcements. While the notice mentions data remains 'secure and accessible', this is a general assurance rather than documentation of security features. No specific security vulnerabilities, access control changes, or encryption updates were introduced.

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.
