AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to reflect service name changes from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for the standalone Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and emphasized migration recommendations to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve branding updates, service deprecation notices, and migration guidance. There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security incident remediation. The reference to 'advanced optional encryption features' in S3 Glacier storage classes is a general feature description, not new security documentation.

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.
