 ## Summary
 
-To solve the issue of sidecars not being well supported we can create a new class of container in the Pod Spec called sidecarContainers which are handled like normal containers but with the caveat that a normal container's status could take precedence over the sidecar's status. This will solve the problem of Jobs not completing/failing when a sidecar container never exits due to it having no awareness of the 'primary' container.

 ### Risks and Mitigations
 
-//WIP
+You could set all containers to be `sidecar: true`, this seems wrong, so maybe the api should do a validation check that at least one container is not a sidecar.
+Init containers would be able to have `sidecar: true` applied to them as it's an additional field to the container spec, there's no situation where this would make sense as init containers are executed sequentially. We could get around this by having the api throw a validation error if you try to use this field on an init container.

 ## Alternatives
 
-One alternative would be to have a new field in the Container Spec of `sidecar: true` however this could be quite inefficient if you had a lot of sidecars.
+One alternative would be to have a new field in the Pod Spec of `sidecarContainers:` where you could define a list of sidecar containers, however this would require a lot more work in terms of updating tooling to support this.
 Another alternative would be to change the Job Spec to have a `primaryContainer` field to tell it which containers are important. However I feel this is perhaps too specific to job when this Sidecar concept could be useful in other scenarios.
