This page is only for existing customers of the Amazon Glacier service using Vaults and the original REST API from 2012.
If you're looking for archival storage solutions, we recommend using the Amazon Glacier storage classes in Amazon S3, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive. To learn more about these storage options, see Amazon Glacier storage classes
Amazon Glacier (original standalone vault-based service) will no longer accept new customers starting December 15, 2025, with no impact to existing customers. 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, Amazon recommends the Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes
Uploading an Archive in a Single Operation
As described in Uploading an Archive in Amazon Glacier, you can upload smaller archives in a single operation. However, we encourage Amazon Glacier (Amazon Glacier) customers to use Multipart Upload to upload archives greater than 100 MB.
