AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for standalone Amazon Glacier service, and emphasized migration to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve branding updates (full service name usage) and deprecation notices. While the deprecation notice mentions data security ('Your existing data will remain secure and accessible'), this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. No security features, vulnerabilities, or mitigations were added or modified in the technical documentation.

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.
