We've been using the sidecar pattern in #Kubernetes for so long, but now it's really becoming a first level citizen, with proper management of startup, teardown, restart etc. This functionality is implemented as an init container with a restartPolicy, and is released in Alpha. Among its many use cases, it can enable more robust implementation of log collection sidecar containers, a common pattern for logging K8s workloads. https://lnkd.in/deR3CvnC 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐮𝐛𝐞-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐲 𝚔𝚞𝚋𝚎-𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚢 is added a --𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚐-𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝 flag to support structured logging. https://lnkd.in/dmsQfwfF This release carries on the journey for structured logging started back in Kubernetes 1.19.
