+Dev Services defaults to Redpanda images from `vectorized/redpanda`. If you do have problems downloading the Redpanda kafka image you can switch to a different provider like Strimzi.

+quarkus.kafka.devservices.provider=strimzi

 If you choose to test your local services with a Kafka broker you can use a small docker-compose file `solution/kafka-stack/docker/docker-compose.yml`
