You can have one Pod with multiple containers… But one container with multiple multiple images not possible. You can run one container then exec inside the container and then pull as many image you want…!

Mohamed Ayman:
You can’t use multi images in a single container but you can have multiple processes it wouldn’t really be a best practice.

Having NGINX and Redis in separate containers but inside the same pod would be better.

You need to look at Docker documentation in order to build a container with multiple processes.

This page seems to give a good overview:
https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/multi-service_container/|https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/multi-service_container/
Also the best practice is to use multi containers pod with an image in separate containers.
