Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-9774:
----------------------------------------------
My first reaction to this was that is should have a KIP because it's a
significant public support, compatibility, and maintenance commitment for the
project... Maybe if it's very clearly highlighted as unofficial, no
compatibility guarantees, etc, though I'm not sure how many people want that
type of image being published from the project.
As simple off-the-top-of-my-head examples, what's the commitment to publication
during releases (is this being added to
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process]?), periodic
updates to get base image CVE updates, verification, testing, etc?

> This is a ticket for creating an *official* apache/kafka-connect Docker
> image.
> Does this need a KIP? - I don't think so. This would be a new feature, not
> any API change.
> Why is this needed?
> # Kafka Connect is stateless. I believe this is why a Kafka image is not
> created?
> # It scales much more easily with Docker and orchestrators. It operates much
> like any other serverless / "microservice" web application
> # People struggle with deploying it because it is packaged _with Kafka_ ,
> which leads some to believe it needs to _*run* with Kafka_ on the same
> machine.
> I think there is separate ticket for creating an official Docker image for
> Kafka but clearly none exist. I reached out to Confluent about this, but
> heard nothing yet.
