AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier' throughout documentation. Added deprecation notice for standalone Amazon Glacier service (no new customers after 2025) and emphasized migration to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve service naming consistency and deprecation announcements. While the update mentions data remains 'secure and accessible', this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific vulnerability. No security features or vulnerabilities are explicitly added or patched.

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.
