Apache Kafka Producer client component. 
Static configuration example:
# yaml
        kafka-producer-first:
            delivery_timeout_ms: 3000
            queue_buffering_max_ms: 100
            poll_timeout_ms: 10
            send_retries_count: 5
            enable_idempotence: true
            security_protocol: "PLAINTEXT"
Secdist format
A Kafka alias in secdist is described as a JSON object kafka_settings, containing credentials of Kafka brokers.
@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def service_env():
    single_setting = {
        'brokers': os.getenv('KAFKA_RECIPE_BROKER_LIST'),
        'username': '',
        'password': '',
    }
    logging.info(f'Brokers are: {single_setting["brokers"]}')
 
    secdist_config = {
        'kafka_settings': {
            'kafka-consumer': single_setting,
            'kafka-producer-first': single_setting,
            'kafka-producer-second': single_setting,
        },
    }
 
    return {'SECDIST_CONFIG': json.dumps(secdist_config)}
