bitnami/kafka not available for free anymore

[Shisir1]

bitnami/kafka is not available for free anymore. I have tried other images but keep getting errors. could you please make a video on other public images for kafka.

This image is no longer available for free through Docker Hub. This image is available as a built OCI artifact in both Debian and Photon base OS formats through a commercial subscription of Bitnami Secure Images. However, there are still other Bitnami Secure Images available as developer editions on Docker Hub. For a complete list of those, visit the public catalog⁠ and filter by Availability Type: Trial.

We recommend considering the benefits of upgrading from the prior generation of Debian images to the Photon-based Bitnami Secure Images. They are fully compatible with the same popular Helm charts as the original Debian images. By upgrading, users will benefit from:

Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
First class support for the internet’s favorite Helm charts

You can use apache kafka as well and change the environment variable in container accordinglt as apache uses some different configuration.

[sathwikhbhat]

Yes, you’re right. We can also use Apache Kafka, which is one of the most widely used Kafka distributions. However, I chose Confluent Kafka because most production-ready applications use that one.
