AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for new customers after 2025-12-15, and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation timeline, and migration recommendations. No security vulnerabilities, encryption details, or access control changes are mentioned. The statement 'Your existing data will remain secure and accessible' is a general assurance but doesn't introduce new security documentation.
