AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for standalone Amazon Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and emphasized migration to S3 Glacier storage classes with updated links.
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve service naming consistency, deprecation announcements, and migration guidance. No specific security vulnerabilities, patches, or security-related configuration changes are addressed. The mention of data remaining 'secure and accessible' is a general assurance, not evidence of addressing a security issue.

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.
