Revert "use alpine/kubectl instead of bitnami/kubectl"

What does this MR do and why?

This reverts merge request !5722 (merged). During the initial review of it, we didn't run any update scenario. This lead to discovering an issue that is breaking our CI, issue that is caused by the kyverno-clean-reports job that runs on version upgrades or reinstall:

2025-10-07T21:09:55Z	2025-10-07T21:09:55Z	kubelet-mgmt-2086351942-kubeadm-capo-md0-b78s2-2kzr7	Pod	kyverno-clean-reports-jz95j	1	Failed	"Error: failed to create containerd task: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: exec: ""/bin/bash"": stat /bin/bash: no such file or directory: unknown"

This is being caused by the alpine/kubectl image and how it is built. To overcome this issue, we should revert !5722 (merged).

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.
