Description
Describe the bug
When I'm installing actions-runner-controller with:
"kubectl apply -f https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/releases/download/v0.22.2/actions-runner-controller.yaml" command
I am getting below error:
"Error from server (Invalid): error when creating "https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/releases/download/v0.22.2/actions-runner-controller.yaml": CustomResourceDefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io "runners.actions.summerwind.dev" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes"
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run 'kubectl apply -f https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/releases/download/v0.22.2/actions-runner-controller.yaml'
Expected behavior
Resources should be installed as described in the Readme
Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):
- actions-runner-controller 0.22.2 (latest)
- AKS (kubernetes) version 1.22.6 (latest stable version)
- cert-manager installed, latest version
Additional context
I have downloaded that actions-runner-controller.yaml and I can see that custom resource definition has more than 30k lines, is that right?

Research direction
Start with the v0.22.2 actions-runner-controller.yaml release manifest and inspect the CustomResourceDefinition for runners.actions.summerwind.dev, especially its metadata annotations. Reproduce the failure by applying the manifest with kubectl, then compare the generated CRD and installation guidance in the repository. Done means the release resources install without the annotation-size validation error.
