+# Image reflector and automation controllers
+
+The image-reflector-controller and image-automation-controller work together to update a Git
+repository when new container images are available.
+
+- The image-reflector-controller scans image repositories and reflects the image metadata in
+  Kubernetes resources.
+- The image-automation-controller updates YAML files based on the latest images scanned, and commits
+  the changes to a given Git repository.
