Description
It really shouldn't take 10 minutes to upload a 2 GiB image to a locally-deployed control plane. Should we use a smaller (e.g. Alpine) image? Is there a regression in SoftNPU? etc.
This is a pretty significant cause of lengthy CI queues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing and timing the deploy CI task's upload of the 2 GiB Debian image to the locally deployed control plane, then compare it with a smaller Alpine image. Investigate whether SoftNPU is implicated; done means identifying the bottleneck or regression and reducing the CI upload time with evidence.
