+The `image-reflector-controller` must be run with the flag `--aws-autologin-for-ecr` set for this to work.

+This flag can be added by including a patch in the `kustomization.yaml` overlay file in your `flux-system`,
+similar to the process described in [customize Flux manifests][]:
+
+```
+patches:
+  - target:
