ECRAuthorizationTokenSpec uses the GetAuthorizationToken API to retrieve an authorization token.
The authorization token is valid for 12 hours. For more information, see [registry authentication](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/Registries.html#registry_auth) in the Amazon Elastic Container Registry User Guide.
