The patterns in this category are focused on structuring and organizing containers in a Pod to satisfy different use cases.

The are many standard patterns that can address desired structural behaviour including;

  • Init Container – a way to run initialisation-related tasks before main application containers are started
  • Sidecar – describes how to extend and enhance the functionality of a pre-existing container without changing it such as a metrics exporter
  • Adapter – inherits all its characteristics from the Sidecar, but has the single purpose of providing adapted access to
  • the application
  • Ambassador – act as a proxy and decouple the main Pod from directly accessing external dependencies
