+    Amazon Glacier is a storage solution for "cold data."
+
+    Amazon Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service that
+    provides secure, durable and easy-to-use storage for data backup
+    and archival. With Amazon Glacier, customers can store their data
+    cost effectively for months, years, or decades. Amazon 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.
+
+    Amazon Glacier is a great storage choice when low storage cost is
+    paramount, your data is rarely retrieved, and retrieval latency of
+    several hours is acceptable. If your application requires fast or
+    frequent access to your data, consider using Amazon S3. For more
+    information, go to `Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)`_.
+
+    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 Amazon Glacier.
+
+    If you are a first-time user of Amazon Glacier, we recommend that
+    you begin by reading the following sections in the Amazon Glacier
+    Developer Guide :
+
+
+    + `What is Amazon Glacier`_ - This section of the Developer Guide
+      describes the underlying data model, the operations it supports,
+      and the AWS SDKs that you can use to interact with the service.
+    + `Getting Started with Amazon Glacier`_ - The Getting Started
+      section walks you through the process of creating a vault,
+      uploading archives, creating jobs to download archives, retrieving
+      the job output, and deleting archives.

+
+
+        #. Initiate a retrieval job.
+        #. After the job completes, download the bytes.
+
+
+        The retrieval request is executed asynchronously. When you
+        initiate a retrieval job, Amazon Glacier creates a job and
+        returns a job ID in the response. When Amazon Glacier
+        completes the job, you can get the job output (archive or
+        inventory data). For information about getting job output, see
+        GetJobOutput operation.
+
+        The job must complete before you can get its output. To
+        determine when a job is complete, you have the following
+        options:
+
+
+        + **Use Amazon SNS Notification** You can specify an Amazon
+          Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to which Amazon
+          Glacier can post a notification after the job is completed.
+          You can specify an SNS topic per job request. The notification
+          is sent only after Amazon Glacier completes the job. In
+          addition to specifying an SNS topic per job request, you can
+          configure vault notifications for a vault so that job
+          notifications are always sent. For more information, see
+          SetVaultNotifications.
+        + **Get job details** You can make a DescribeJob request to
+          obtain job status information while a job is in progress.
+          However, it is more efficient to use an Amazon SNS
+          notification to determine when a job is complete.
+
+
+
+        The information you get via notification is same that you get
+        by calling DescribeJob.
+
+
+        If for a specific event, you add both the notification
+        configuration on the vault and also specify an SNS topic in
+        your initiate job request, Amazon Glacier sends both
+        notifications. For more information, see
+        SetVaultNotifications.
+
+        An AWS account has full permission to perform all operations
+        (actions). However, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
+        users don't have any permissions by default. You must grant
+        them explicit permission to perform specific actions. For more
+        information, see `Access Control Using AWS Identity and Access
+        Management (IAM)`_.
+
+        **About the Vault Inventory**
+
+        Amazon Glacier prepares an inventory for each vault
+        periodically, every 24 hours. When you initiate a job for a
+        vault inventory, Amazon Glacier returns the last inventory for
+        the vault. The inventory data you get might be up to a day or
+        two days old. Also, the initiate inventory job might take some
+        time to complete before you can download the vault inventory.
+        So you do not want to retrieve a vault inventory for each
+        vault operation. However, in some scenarios, you might find
+        the vault inventory useful. For example, when you upload an
+        archive, you can provide an archive description but not an
+        archive name. Amazon Glacier provides you a unique archive ID,
+        an opaque string of characters. So, you might maintain your
+        own database that maps archive names to their corresponding
+        Amazon Glacier assigned archive IDs. You might find the vault
+        inventory useful in the event you need to reconcile
+        information in your database with the actual vault inventory.
+
+        **About Ranged Archive Retrieval**
+
+        You can initiate an archive retrieval for the whole archive or
+        a range of the archive. In the case of ranged archive
+        retrieval, you specify a byte range to return or the whole
+        archive. The range specified must be megabyte (MB) aligned,
+        that is the range start value must be divisible by 1 MB and
+        range end value plus 1 must be divisible by 1 MB or equal the
+        end of the archive. If the ranged archive retrieval is not
+        megabyte aligned, this operation returns a 400 response.
+        Furthermore, to ensure you get checksum values for data you
+        download using Get Job Output API, the range must be tree hash
+        aligned.
+
+        An AWS account has full permission to perform all operations
+        (actions). However, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
+        users don't have any permissions by default. You must grant

+        size. The last one can be the same size or smaller. For
+        example, suppose you want to upload a 16.2 MB file. If you
+        initiate the multipart upload with a part size of 4 MB, you
+        will upload four parts of 4 MB each and one part of 0.2 MB.
+
+
+        You don't need to know the size of the archive when you start
+        a multipart upload because Amazon Glacier does not require you
+        to specify the overall archive size.
+
+
+        After you complete the multipart upload, Amazon Glacier
+        removes the multipart upload resource referenced by the ID.
+        Amazon Glacier also removes the multipart upload resource if
+        you cancel the multipart upload or it may be removed if there
+        is no activity for a period of 24 hours.

+
+        Additionally, Amazon Glacier also checks for any missing

+        ranges are found, Amazon Glacier returns an error and the

+        can repeat your Complete Multipart Upload request and get the
