This session dives deep into the power of init and sidecar containers, the issues they solve and why they are very useful when managing Kubernetes workloads.

We will explore real-world use cases that show how these tools can:
* Simplify complex deployments: Break down intricate deployments into manageable steps.
* Enhance security: Isolate security critical tasks within your pods and ongoing security measures.
* Facilitate rapid and isolated changes: when everyone is interested in updating the same service, separation of concerns is critical for rapid development.
* Boost application functionality: Utilize sidecar containers to inject essential functionalities like logging, monitoring, and networking capabilities without modifying your main application code.

Our goal is to share our experience and challenges managing thousands of environments in Kubernetes, how we manage init and sidecar containers and what problems they solve for us.
