**Tell us about your request**
EMR on EKS generates service account names more than 64 char, which is actually enforced in kubectl official client sdk. Because of that one can't use EMR on EKS from kubernetes sdk and create an operator or any programatic approach of interaction.
There is an equivalent issue filed on Cilium too which is also using client-go https://github.com/cilium/cilium/blob/b9f72929d45ba5d410ae7181c9db6770da4948e3/go.mod#L112 and is limited with the same approach https://github.com/cilium/cilium/issues/16579

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
This could be EKS, EMR

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Since AWS team has already pushed the longer sa names in production, to make this change available to new operator they can take a configmap for configuration as an input and provide the flag there.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
No

Research direction

Start by reviewing the requested 64-character limit, the referenced Cilium issue, and how EMR on EKS currently generates service account names. Done means new service account names fit the limit and the proposed configuration mechanism is defined for new operators; no repository file or test is identified.
