Lab 3.4 in CKAD class ask to find multi container pod yaml in the official documentation
Is there really a clean working example of that? i mean i found one with shared volume, that use nginx and debian and that probably belong in a later chapter. Then i found one with sidecars but i believe that too belongs in a later chapter. Then i found one with custom images but it doesnt work unless created custom images. Which one is that i am supposed to have found and bookmarked?

Hi @alexanderlvov1,
Multi-container pods have various use cases.
The example pod with nginx and debian containers is a working use case for situations when one container (debian) is used as an update interface to control content and/or the environment of the second container (nginx).
Sidecars have many use cases as well. In exercise 2.4 a simple working example is presented with nginx and fluentd containers. As shown, it only runs the two distinct containers in the pod, however, in a later chapter the fluentd container is fully configured to manage the logs of the nginx container.
Metrics collection is another use of the sidecar multi-container pattern.
Whether predefined container images or custom container images are used in a multi-container pod, their purpose is to allow the containers to interact with each other, either through a shared process namespace, the shared network namespace, shared volume device, etc.Regards,

Hi Chris. Thanks you for answering the question, but my question is rather an applied or practical question concerning the course material. I would like to follow course material diligently and i was just not able to find an simple multicontainer definition that works on my GKS. So i was wondering if there is a discrepancy between material and official documentatiton.

Hi @alexanderlvov1,
Have you tried running the simple two-container pod from lab 2.4? What was the outcome of that exercise?
