AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for new customers after December 15, 2025, and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation timeline, and migration recommendations. While the phrase 'Your existing data will remain secure and accessible' appears, this is a general assurance rather than documentation of a new security feature or mitigation of a specific vulnerability.

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.
