Host: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Minikube: Virtual box running minikube cluster

My requirement is i need to deploy kafka and zookeeper on minikube and should be used to produce or consume messages. I followed this link and successfully deployed it on minikube its details are below

$ kubectl get services

zoo3            10.0.0.6     <none>        2181/TCP,2888/TCP,3888/TCP   50m

$ kubectl get pods

$ kubectl describe service kafka-service

Endpoints:      172.17.0.7:9092
Session Affinity:   None
Events:         <none>

and i have set KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME to minikube ip(192.168.99.100). Now for message producer i am using $cat textfile.log | kafkacat -b $(minikube ip):30244 -t mytopic its not publishing the message giving below message

% Auto-selecting Producer mode (use -P or -C to override)
% Delivery failed for message: Local: Message timed out

can any one help how to publish and consume message.

Going off the previous answer and your comment here is very basic sample code for a Kafka service with type=Nodeport.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: kafka-service
  labels:
    name: kafka
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 9092
    name: kafka-port
    protocol: TCP
  selector:
    app: kafka
  type: NodePort
