# S3 Glacier Vault

An S3 Glacier Vault is a secure container for storing archives in Amazon S3 Glacier, designed for long-term, low-cost data storage. Each vault can hold unlimited archives and provides metadata such as creation date, number of archives, and total size. Vaults also support access policies and notifications, enabling fine-grained control over data retrieval and monitoring.
