GitHub user raphaelauv added a comment to the discussion: Custom worker images 
to lower the number of kubernetespodoperator tasks

using airflow workers will limit what you can run with pythonoperator or you 
will need to use dockeroperator ...

so you should go for a new operator , ask an LLM this : 

```
In Airflow 3.3, I want something like KubernetesPodOperator, but that reuses 
existing containers instead of making Kubernetes create a new pod for every 
task.

Please write a custom operator that:
- runs each task's command inside an already-running pod (like kubectl exec), 
with logs streamed live and the task failing if the command fails
- starts a new pod if none exists, or if all existing pods are busy with 
another task (one task per pod at a time, with a maximum number of pods)
- makes sure two tasks can never pick the same pod, and that a pod held by a 
crashed worker becomes reusable after a while
- lets Kubernetes clean up pods automatically after a few minutes without use
- creates the pods through Kubernetes Jobs with ttlSecondsAfterFinished, so 
Kubernetes deletes them by itself once they exit after being idle

Use the Airflow 3 SDK (airflow.sdk) and the cncf.kubernetes provider. Give me 
the operator, an example DAG, the RBAC the service account needs, and the 
limitations of the design.
```
