One or more {{< glossary_tooltip text="containers" term_id="container" >}} that are typically started before any app containers run.

Sidecar containers are like regular app containers, but with a different purpose: the sidecar provides a Pod-local service to the main app container.
|
|
Unlike {{< glossary_tooltip text="init containers" term_id="init-container" >}}, sidecar containers
|
|
continue running after Pod startup.
