Hello, I think this would be a wonderful improvement to the ecosystem. While Viktor is correct that most Docker pipelines eventually lead to a kubernetes deployment, that should not stop us from creating an Official Docker Image. Creating a Docker image would allow us to ensure a level of quality and support for people who want to deploy Kafka as a container on baremetal machines, it could allow us to create a sandbox/developer environment for new contributors and developers to test and have a single agreed upon environment that kafka works in for future KIPs and would most likely spawn more contributions from people wanting to optimize kafka for k8s.
I am 100% for this and will gladly help if approved. Kenneth On Thu, Sep 14, 2023 at 5:47 AM Ismael Juma <m...@ismaeljuma.com> wrote: > Hi Viktor, > > I disagree.
