+## Sidecars
+
+If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as WordPress (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the `sidecars` config parameter. Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.
+
+```yaml
+sidecars:
+- name: your-image-name
+  image: your-image
+  imagePullPolicy: Always
+  ports:
+  - name: portname
+   containerPort: 1234
+
+If these sidecars export extra ports, you can add extra port definitions using the `service.extraPorts` value:
+
+```yaml
+service:
+...
+  extraPorts:
+  - name: extraPort
+    port: 11311
+    targetPort: 11311
+```
+
 ## Persistence
 
 The [Bitnami WordPress](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-wordpress) image stores the WordPress data and configurations at the `/bitnami` path of the container.
