AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for original standalone service, and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes
Security assessment
Changes focus on branding consistency, service deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. While the text mentions data remaining 'secure and accessible', this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability or introducing new security features. No security-related API changes, vulnerability fixes, or new security controls 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. If you want enhanced capabilities, consider migrating to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes by using our [AWS Solutions Guidance for transferring data from Amazon Glacier vaults to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/guidance/data-transfer-from-amazon-s3-glacier-vaults-to-amazon-s3/). @@ -11 +13 @@ If you're looking for archival storage solutions we suggest using the Glacier st -When you are setting up [How Amazon Glacier works with IAM](./security_iam_service-with-iam.html) and writing a permissions policy that you can attach to an IAM identity (identity-based policies) or a resource (resource-based policies), you can use the following table as a reference.
