AWS amazonglacier documentation change
Summary
Updated branding from 'Glacier' to 'Amazon Glacier', added deprecation notice for standalone service, and redirected users to S3 Glacier storage classes with migration guidance
Security assessment
Changes focus on service naming consistency, deprecation announcements, and migration recommendations. While Vault Lock policies are security-related, the updates here do not introduce new security features or address vulnerabilities. The modifications are informational and organizational rather than security-specific.
