/**
 * <p>
 * Amazon S3 Glacier (Glacier) is a storage solution for "cold data."
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service that provides secure, durable, and easy-to-use storage for data
 * backup and archival. With Glacier, customers can store their data cost effectively for months, years, or decades.
 * Glacier also enables customers to offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling storage to AWS, so they
 * don't have to worry about capacity planning, hardware provisioning, data replication, hardware failure and recovery,
 * or time-consuming hardware migrations.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Glacier is a great storage choice when low storage cost is paramount and your data is rarely retrieved. If your
 * application requires fast or frequent access to your data, consider using Amazon S3. For more information, see <a
 * href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/">Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)</a>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * You can store any kind of data in any format. There is no maximum limit on the total amount of data you can store in
 * Glacier.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * If you are a first-time user of Glacier, we recommend that you begin by reading the following sections in the
 * <i>Amazon S3 Glacier Developer Guide</i>:
