Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand sidecar role for live config updates
A sidecar container can run alongside the main app and update shared config files dynamically without restarting the main app.Step 2: Evaluate other options for live updates
InitContainers run only once before the main app starts, so they can't refresh configs continuously. Restarting the main app or using separate pods is less efficient and disrupts availability.Final Answer:
