Out of Kubernetes, you may as well simply run a Kafka infrastructure on Docker, see the following links for examples and configuration samples:

• https://docs.confluent.io/current/installation/docker/installation/index.html#cpdocker-intro
• https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-all-in-one/blob/latest/cp-all-in-one/docker-compose.yml
• https://github.com/guilhemmarchand/kafka-docker-splunk

This covers events logging and metric collections when running Kafka on containers.
