The document discusses archiving files in Amazon Glacier. It outlines the basic steps: (1) create a vault in Glacier to store archives, (2) configure access policies for the vault, (3) upload files as archives to the vault which takes 3-5 hours to complete, and (4) download the archives from the vault later. It also describes using services like DynamoDB or S3 for indexing archive metadata and retrieving it alongside the archive files.
