Quick takeaways

  • Kubernetes 1.28 introduces a standardized approach for implementing sidecar containers, enabling seamless integration of logging, metrics ingestion, and secrets management with the main application container.

Deep dives

Sidecar containers are now natively supported in Kubernetes

Kubernetes 1.28 introduces a new feature that allows sidecar containers to be implemented in a more official and standardized way. In previous versions, sidecars were implemented using init containers and custom logic. Now, by setting a specific field in the init container restart policy, sidecar containers will be treated as independent entities with their own lifecycles. This enables use cases like logging, metrics ingestion, and secrets management to be seamlessly integrated with the main application container.
