ImagePullError - Switch to DockerHub as Image Source

[yungxinkawaii]

Description:

We are currently encountering ImagePullBackOff when deploying images from the current image repository. This issue is affecting the deployment process and causing failures across multiple environments.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Attempt to deploy the application using the current image repository (cr.fluentbit.io/fluent/fluent-bit).
2. Observe the failure and note the ImagePullBackOff in the logs.

Expected Behavior: The image should be successfully pulled and deployed without errors.
Actual Behavior: Deployment fails due to an ImagePullBackOff.

Suggested Resolution: To mitigate the issue, we should switch to using DockerHub as the image source. DockerHub is more reliable and can help avoid these errors. We can update the deployment configuration to pull images from DockerHub instead.
