Increase resiliency of IBM zAPM Connect runtimes in shared Kubernetes environments

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In shared Kubernetes environments (clusters hosting multiple application workloads), green zones for node restarts can frequently be continuous or extensive, not tied to a specific application.  Any node may restart at any point for maintenance or platform issues.  To prevent service outages an approach is to require 3+ replicas to allow service continuity when nodes are recycled.   With the current zAPM Connect distributed gateway setup this is an issue since the Kafka and Redis instances are single-pod services.   This idea is to adjust the single-node services in zAPM Connect DG to support microservices (arbitrarily defined here as 2 core, 16 GB RAM resources caps) with multiple pods.  This would increase the service continuity in environments where a scheduled green zone is not feasible.
