AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to clarify Amazon Glacier service naming, added deprecation notice for new customers after December 15, 2025, and emphasized migration recommendations to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve service naming updates, deprecation notices, and migration guidance. While the text mentions existing data remaining 'secure and accessible,' this is a general assurance rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability or weakness. No security-related features, vulnerabilities, or mitigations are introduced or modified in the 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.
