AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for new customers after December 15, 2025, and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes mirror those in the ListVaults documentation, focusing on service continuity and migration paths. The statement about data remaining secure refers to service availability rather than introducing security controls. No specific security vulnerabilities or mitigations are documented.

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.
