AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for the standalone Glacier service (no new customers after Dec 15, 2025), and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes focus on branding consistency, service deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or explicit security feature enhancements. The notification configuration documentation remains functionally unchanged.
