AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for original standalone Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation timeline, and migration recommendations rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While mentioning data remains 'secure and accessible', this is a general assurance statement rather than evidence of addressing a specific security issue. No security features or mitigations were added.

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. If you want enhanced capabilities, consider migrating to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes by using our [AWS Solutions Guidance for transferring data from Amazon Glacier vaults to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/guidance/data-transfer-from-amazon-s3-glacier-vaults-to-amazon-s3/). @@ -13 +15 @@ If you're looking for archival storage solutions we suggest using the Glacier st -You can delete empty and nonempty vaults in Amazon Glacier (Glacier) using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). +You can delete empty and nonempty vaults in Amazon Glacier (Amazon Glacier) using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). @@ -40 +42 @@ You can delete empty and nonempty vaults in Amazon Glacier (Glacier) using the A - * To get a list of Glacier vaults on the configured account, use the `list-vaults` command.
