Hi there,
I came across this repository and noticed that several deployment files (specifically runKafka.sh and the Minikube values.yaml configurations) rely on bitnami/kafka:latest.
The Issue: Bitnami has significantly restricted public access to their container images, moving many to a paywall or legacy status. Relying on bitnami/kafka:latest often results in pull access denied errors or instability for new users trying to run the project.
Proposed Solution: I suggest switching to a free, compatible alternative: soldevelo/kafka:latest.
This image is engineered as a drop-in replacement, which is crucial for your setup.

If you are open to this, I can submit a Pull Request to update these references.
