Environment Variable and Secret for Sidecar container

[FarmaanElahi]

Currently adding env variable and secrets for the works for the main container.

There might be some scenario where env variable and secrets for sidecar might be required which is currently missing

Hello @FarmaanElahi,

This is a very useful feedback! I think we should support injecting env variables and secrets for sidecar. Thanks for bringing it up!

Could this also be used for adding args to the sidecar? environment variables would probably be enough to write my own docker-entrypoint.sh and wrap the command but it would be nice to get native support.

I could also open a new issue for arg/cmd support if that makes sense.

@iamhopaul123 any timeline for this?

@iamhopaul123 Appreciate this being prioritized! A few unsolicited thoughts:

• both explicit and implicit sidecars (like firelens) should be supported
• this feature is only truly useful if we can parameterize the values based on copilot environment

Hello @bdevore17, so sorry for the late reply. We probably won't be able to do this feature very soon but I'll try to get to it as soon as possible and keep you posted!

Really appreciate this input. It is very helpful to us!
