Kubernetes What are the types of multi-container pod patterns

Question

Could somebody explain with examples the types of multi-container pod patterns?

Answer 1

Here are the different types of multi-container pod patterns:

• Sidecar:

A pod spec which runs the main container and a helper container that does some utility work, but that is not necessarily needed for the main container to work.

• Adapter:

The adapter container will inspect the contents of the app's file, does some kind of restructuring and reformat it, and write the correctly formatted output to the location.

• Ambassador:

It connects containers with the outside world. It is a proxy that allows other containers to connect to a port on localhost.
