Summary
Adds several doc-history entries covering AWSTOE region/download updates, resource name to ARN mapping, AWSTOE variables, workflow step retries, dry run for create actions, and structured failure context.
Security assessment
These are documentation changelog entries for feature releases and doc updates; none reference a vulnerability, CVE, or security control.
Evidence
+Feature release: Dry run for create actions| You can validate the configuration for an Image Builder resource without creating the resource. To perform a dry run, set the `dryRun` parameter to `true` in your create request. For more information, see [Validate Image Builder resource creation with a dry run](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/dry-run-resources.html).| September 8, 2026

The supported Regions list now refers to the Image Builder endpoints page, which reflects new Regions at launch. Also added the application download link for macOS on ARM64.| September 17, 2026 +Resource name to ARN mapping| Documented how Image Builder generates resource ARNs from a normalized form of the resource name, and how normalization affects name uniqueness within your account for each AWS Region. For more information, see [Resource names and ARNs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/how-image-builder-works.html#ibhow-resource-names).| September 9, 2026 +Variables in AWSTOE component documents| Documented AWSTOE runtime variables that you can reference in a component document, including environment variables (`env:`), instance metadata variables (`aws:imds:`), and context variables (`context:`). Also documented the environment variables that Image Builder provides to components. For more information, see [Use variables in your custom component document](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/toe-user-defined-variables.html) and [Environment variables that Image Builder provides](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/toe-user-defined-variables.html#toe-ib-env-variables).| September 8, 2026 +Feature release: Workflow step retries| You can configure Image Builder to automatically retry a workflow step that fails. To set up retries, add the `retry` attribute to a step in your workflow document.
