Which container should you use when deploying on docker ?

Hello.

I would like to ask question related to kafka on docker engine.
Which container should you use for kafka when deploying on docker in
production ?

When I look in docker hub , I do not see neither of below tagged for kafka
container .

Docker certified
Verified publisher
Official Images

Repository "confluent" seems be the closest one since its the creator of
kafka but it does not have above tag .

Thanks,
Yu Watanabe

 I guess the confusion is due to fact is Kafka is not as official as, for
example, “Tomcat” on public dockerhub.  When referring to official ASF
image, I would always first go to Apache maintained dockerhub site for
images (not elsewhere). It’s perfectly valid to have CP image (given how
major CP contribution is for Kafka on cloud). But it's still not ASF image
(but licensed under Confluent licence).

If you don’t agree, let’s google “Official Apache Kafka Docker Image” vs
“Official Apache Tomcat docker image" - let's see what the top search
(minus Ads) says.

It certainly wouldn't cause that much of an issue if it's advertised both
on Kafka site and Github main site that CP kafka image is the official go
to. I use CP image for our test K8s cluster, and I would love this to be
clarified in official capacity on Kafka/Github site.

Hope this makes sense.

Robin.

Thank you for the reply.

I am about to run kafka on docker in development environment for first time
and also in production.
To get started, I searched images in docker hub that has "Official Images"
tag to find if there is a docker image maintained by the community.
But there wasn't one so I asked the question.

Thanks,
Yu Watanabe

There are various Kafka images available, including:

https://hub.docker.com/r/confluentinc/cp-kafka/
<https://hub.docker.com/r/wurstmeister/kafka/>
https://hub.docker.com/r/wurstmeister/kafka/

I'm not 100% clear what your doubt is? If these are legitimate Kafka
images, or something else?
