The Kafka image can be built using a Dockerfile, which defines the steps required to build the image
To connect to Kafka from outside the Docker container, you will need to expose the Kafka port using the -p flag
It is important to properly manage the resources consumed by the Kafka container,
To get started, you can use existing images available on Docker Hub that contain pre-built Kafka binaries and configurations
