We are deploying AWX and yesterday, our deployment tests failed.  
The awx-task pod was failing.  
awx-task-65ffcf99cc-gzwhk 0/4 Init:CrashLoopBackOff

Logs have:  
Error from server (BadRequest): container “awx-task” in pod “awx-task-65ffcf99cc-gzwhk” is waiting to start: PodInitializing

Since we are not on the latest we declare the control plane image to match the version that we are deploying but I find  
that the init image is defined as awx-ee:latest

Not what I expected.

Is there a way to define the task pod init image with the operator?

Yes, all of the images used by AWX can be overwritten by the Operator.

[Using images from private registries - Ansible AWX Operator Documentation](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/user-guide/advanced-configuration/deploying-a-specific-version-of-awx.html)

The ones you’re looking for would be:

- `init_container_image`
- `init_container_image_version`
