Kubectl wait command for init containers

I am looking for a Kubectl wait command for init containers. Basically I need to wait until pod initialization of init container before proceeding for next step in my script.

I can see a wait option for pods but not specific to init containers.

Any clue how to achieve this

Please suggest any alternative ways to wait in script

You can run multiple commands in the init container or multiple init containers to do the trick.


  • Multiple commands
command: ["/bin/sh","-c"]
args: ["command one; command two && command three"]

* Multiple init containers

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: myapp-pod
  labels:
    app: myapp
spec:
  containers:
  - name: myapp-container
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: ['sh', '-c', 'echo The app is running! && sleep 3600']
  initContainers:
  - name: init-myservice
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: ['sh', '-c', "until nslookup myservice.$(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace).svc.cluster.local; do echo waiting for myservice; sleep 2; done"]
  - name: init-mydb
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: ['sh', '-c', "until nslookup mydb.$(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace).svc.cluster.local; do echo waiting for mydb; sleep 2; done"]
