AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for the standalone Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and redirected users to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. There are no references to security vulnerabilities, patches, or new security features. The mention of 'advanced optional encryption features' existed in the original text and was not added by this change.

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.
