AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier' and added deprecation notice for the standalone service. Added guidance to migrate to S3 Glacier storage classes with new deadlines and solution links.
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve service naming consistency, deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. No explicit security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are introduced. The statement 'Your existing data will remain secure and accessible' is a reassurance but does not indicate a security fix or vulnerability disclosure.

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.
