Reconfigure kubelet eviction thresholds and reserved memory
What does this MR do and why?
Reconfigure kubelet eviction threshold as we've observed that our system was not behaving properly under memory pressure
We've measured that system cgroup was usually using a bit more that 1Gi of memory, whereas we were setting the evictionHard memory threshold at 1Gi
Previously we were setting evictionHard thresholds in sylva-capi-cluster (via kubelet-extra-args), this is removed in sylva-projects/sylva-elements/helm-charts/sylva-capi-cluster!1132 (merged)
Current proposal is to reserve 1Gb for system and set evictionHard threshold at 500Mb, which will reduce the overall allocatable space by 500Mb only, and add an evictionSoft memory threshold at 1Gi
Built on top of !9578 (merged) to measure the effects of these changes.

Global config for deployment pipelines
- autorun pipelines
- allow failure on pipelines
- record sylvactl events
Notes:
- Enabling
autorunwill make deployment pipelines to be run automatically without human interaction - Disabling
allow failurewill make deployment pipelines mandatory for pipeline success. - if both
autorunandallow failureare 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.
