AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for the standalone Amazon Glacier service (original vault-based API), and emphasized migration guidance to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve service renaming, deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. While the update mentions data remaining 'secure and accessible' in Amazon Glacier, this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability or introducing new security features. No explicit security fixes, vulnerabilities, 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.
