What happened?

The changes from this PR has resulted in kubectl commands no longer re-authenticating with each command run. This means that the auth/token can timeout for long steps that invoke kubectl multiple times (usually with the step lasting 15 or more minutes) that rely on AWS auth for kustomize steps.

Workaround

If the AWS CLI is not detected on the target/worker, Calamari will revert to the previous code that re-authenticated when kubectl was invoked.
