AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for new customers after 2025, and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes focus on branding consistency, service deprecation timeline, and migration recommendations. While the notice states existing data 'will remain secure', this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. No evidence of patching vulnerabilities or introducing new security controls.

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. If you want enhanced capabilities, consider migrating to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes by using our [AWS Solutions Guidance for transferring data from Amazon Glacier vaults to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/guidance/data-transfer-from-amazon-s3-glacier-vaults-to-amazon-s3/). @@ -16,2 +18,2 @@ Name | Description -`Date` | The date and time Amazon Glacier (Glacier) responded, for example, `Wed, 10 Feb 2017 12:00:00 GMT`.
