AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier' throughout, added deprecation notice for standalone Amazon Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and redirected users to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve service naming consistency and deprecation announcements. No evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or introducing security features. The deprecation notice focuses on service evolution rather than security risks.

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.
