Sidecar containers for monitoring Kubernetes environment

In this podcast episode, the concept and importance of using Sidecar containers to monitor Kubernetes environments are discussed. Sidecar containers are used to collect logs and send them to a centralized location, all while operating in the same pod as the main application containers. This approach allows for low-noise monitoring without disrupting the main operations of the Kubernetes cluster.
