Airbyte workload-launcher applying source and destination image details as labels while launching a job pod

[sbedramanatl]

Hello

I have observed that workload-launcher configures the Source and Destination image connector versions as Pod labels while launching a replication job. This is from the below source code reference.

https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-platform/blob/b89eab4179d31f7674436cd6a2ca50ca03c6261b/airbyte-workload-launcher/src/main/kotlin/pods/PodLabeler.kt#L128

I wanted to check if this is related to any internal functionality of Airbyte or if its purely informational.

We are developing a source and destination connectors for our internal systems and for some reason, the docker image tags are >63 characters in length. Due to this, the replication job fails to launch since Kubernetes does not allow the label size to be more than 63 characters. Is there any way to customize this ?

Thank you
