close #262

[gab-arrobo]

To be able to effectively disable publishing of data by the amf and smf, changes need to be done in the helm charts. Does it mean that we need to expose (override) these parameters/values from the sdcore-5g-values.yaml file? Currently, it only exposes the option to deploy (or not) kafka pod regardless of what is configured in the amf and/or smf. Does any other NF use kafka? If not, what about "controlling" the deployment of kafka if and only if the amf or smf needs to publish topics/data?

@thakurajayL, are you planning to make changes to helm charts and sdcore-5g-values.yaml to expose the option to effectively disable kafka inside the amf and smf?

What I mean is the following two things:

1. I thonk we should we expose this option in sdcore-5g-values.yaml file in OnRamp because currently, we can "disable" kafka (not deploy the kafka pod) but we can not do any change related to kafka in the amf and smf (in sdcore-5g-values.yaml.
2. Currently we have two "parallel" options to "enable/disable" kafka in the helm charts. One is about the deployment of kafka (pod) and the other is about using kafka inside the amf and smf pods. So, I was wondering if you are planning to "unify" these two options such that the kafka pod is deployed only if the amf or smf has it enabled.
