Description

Hi, is there some option to define custom naming of vttablet pods?
VTTablet pods are named like:

clusterName-vttablet-cellName-Tablet_UID-randomString

I would like to include keyspace-shard into naming instead having them on labels...

clusterName-vttablet-cellName-Keyspace-Shard-Tablet_uid-random string

Or if this gets too long for naming it like:

vttablet-Keyspace-Shard-TabletUID-randomString
cell in labels, clusterName in labels...

Or adjust values file to have an option for custom naming pods of vttablets and other components...

Looking at the pods list of vttablets i have no idea which one is for the specific keyspace/shard, until i read labels of the pod...

Research direction

Start by tracing how VTTablet pod names are currently assembled and how the values file configures pod settings. Compare the proposed naming alternatives with Kubernetes naming limits and existing labels, then define which configurable naming behavior and label preservation would count as done.
