The existing TlsIT covers HTTPS between HTTP clients and the bridge, but the bridge-to-Kafka connection always uses PLAINTEXT. With strimzi-test-container 0.116.0, we should add integration tests that verify the bridge works correctly when connecting to Kafka over TLS. This would cover both the isolated Kafka TLS scenario and the full end-to-end chain where an HTTPS client talks to the bridge, which in turn connects to Kafka over TLS.
