Multiple containers in a pod

Multiple containers in a pod

Are containers rolled out as a unit?

Will containers be scaled in unison?

Is there a 1:1 relationship between the containers?

Note

Frontend and backend belong in separate pods

Sidecars

There is one main container

All other containers are sidecars

Sidecars support the main container

Sidecars often provide integration with the infrastructure

Examples

Sidecar monitors main container (metrics collection)

Sidecar collects logs for central storage (log shipping)
