Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When deploying a TemporalWorkerDeployment resource, custom labels can only be applied to the pods via spec.template.metadata.labels. The generated Kubernetes Deployment resource itself only receives system-managed labels:
- temporal.io/build-id
- temporal.io/deployment-name
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow users to specify custom labels that should be applied to the generated Kubernetes Deployment resource (not just the pods).
This is useful for:
- Adding deployment-level metadata (e.g., team: backend, environment: production)
- Integration with external tools that query Deployment labels (e.g., cost allocation, monitoring dashboards)
- Consistency with standard Kubernetes label conventions for deployments
Example
apiVersion: temporal.io/v1alpha1
kind: TemporalWorkerDeployment
metadata:
name: my-worker
spec:
deploymentLabels: # New field
team: backend
environment: production
cost-center: engineering
template:
metadata:
labels:
version: v1
spec:
containers:
- name: worker
image: myimage:latest

Research direction
Start by locating the TemporalWorkerDeployment specification and the controller code that generates Kubernetes Deployment resources. Trace how system-managed labels are assigned and check the existing controller tests, if present. Done means the requested deploymentLabels field is accepted and applied to the generated Deployment without changing pod labels.
