Summary

Adds a dedicated Kubernetes deployment guide for the contrib OpenTelemetry Collector → EDOT gateway setup. Extends the bare-metal guide in #7032 with K8s-specific steps: Secret, ConfigMap, Deployment, and Service manifests.

Relates to #6972

Depends on #7032 (bare-metal guide) merging first.

Kubernetes section included with raw manifest using the elastic-otel-collector image (manifest is derived from the kube-stack Helm chart values).

Open questions for technical review

  • ELASTIC_AGENT_OTEL: "true" env var: confirmed in the page prose that the image entrypoint uses this to start elastic-agent in otel mode. Please verify if this is correct for the standalone elastic-otel-collector image.
  • args: ["--config", "/etc/edot/gateway.yaml"]: confirm this is the right invocation for the container entrypoint.
  • Image name: docker.elastic.co/elastic-agent/elastic-otel-collector:{{version.edot_collector}} please confirm this is the correct image for standalone gateway use.

Removes the "Deploy on k8s" section from the bare-metal guide and
replaces it with a Next steps link to the upcoming kubernetes.md page.
Keeps the bare-metal guide self-contained so it can merge independently.
