ensure sane behavior of minio-operator

This MR is meant as workarounds to issues described in #2578 (closed)

Two separate commits:

  • one that tunes requests/limits:
    • the key point is to limit CPU usage, to avoid CPU over-consumption when https://github.com/minio/operator/issues/2450 is hit
    • the rest is just reducing the requests (because the operator does not in fact use a lot in practice: in my setup, it uses 24m for CPU, and 36Mi of RAM)
  • one that reduces the number of replicas to 1 and sets maxSurge to zero
    • if two operator instances aren't able to properly cooperate for leases (something that we observedà, we should not try to use more than one replica
    • maxSurge: 0 is here to ensure that during a pod rolling update, we never have 2 replicas up at the same time
    • this allows to add a livenessProbe, borrowed from https://github.com/minio/operator/issues/2461, which is known as not effective in a multi-replica setup, but which we can use here (since we'll only have 1 replica) and may help avoid the "eat 100% CPU usage on short apiserver unavailability" problem

Global config for deployment pipelines

  • autorun pipelines
  • allow failure on pipelines
  • record sylvactl events

Notes:

  • Enabling autorun will make deployment pipelines to be run automatically without human interaction
  • Disabling allow failure will make deployment pipelines mandatory for pipeline success.
  • if both autorun and allow failure are disabled, deployment pipelines will need manual triggering but will be blocking the pipeline

Be aware: after configuration change, pipeline is not triggered automatically. Please run it manually (by clicking the run pipeline button in Pipelines tab) or push new code.
