AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated service references from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier' for branding consistency, added deprecation notice for standalone Amazon Glacier service (no new customers after 2025), and emphasized migration recommendations to S3 Glacier storage classes.
Security assessment
Changes focus on service branding updates, deprecation announcements, and migration guidance. No explicit security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or security feature additions are referenced. Mentions of encryption features and data retrieval policies existed previously and were not modified in security-relevant ways.

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.
