Description
We have recently created a Rock for packaging Apache Kafka. The binaries are the same as the ones used in Charmed Kafka images, but here we just reduce only to the Apache Kafka, leaving outside all the extra components and dependencies.
The idea of the image would be to replace the current Apache Kafka images in DockerHub that are not integrated with Rock and OCI Factory pipeline. With respect to that image, there is a UX difference, namely that the new image only provides a way to run Kafka. The previous image was also allowing to run ZooKeeper, but given we already have an Official ZooKeeper image, I would generally advice to use that one instead, without packaging here those binaries/entrypoints as well. In the documentation I provide guidance on how Kafka can easily be deployed along side a ZooKeeper container (using the Canonical offical ZooKeeper image)
