## Configuring the plugin instance sidecar
The Barman Cloud Plugin uses a sidecar container that runs alongside each
PostgreSQL instance pod. This sidecar handles backup, WAL archiving, and restore
PostgreSQL instance pod.
This sidecar handles backup, WAL archiving, and restore
operations. You can control how the sidecar works by setting the
`.spec.instanceSidecarConfiguration` section in your `ObjectStore` resource.
These settings apply to all PostgreSQL instances that use this object store.

```
When the plugin is enabled, the sidecar is automatically injected into each
PostgreSQL instance pod. Even if you define multiple `ObjectStore` resources,
only one sidecar will run per instance. If a replica cluster also archives WALs
to a different `ObjectStore`, the sidecar will use the resource settings from the
`ObjectStore` referenced by the archiving plugin, not the one in the
`.spec.externalClusters` section. Changes to the sidecar configuration will be
applied on the next reconciliation of the `Cluster` resources it.
The plugin injects a sidecar in the recovery job and in the PostgreSQL
instance Pods when needed.
When this happens, the sidecar will manage multiple `ObjectStore`
resources:
1. the target object store, where WAL files and backups will
be written
2. the replica source object store, used by the log-shipping designated
primary to get the WAL files
3. the recovery object store, used when creating the cluster from an
existing backup (used only by the recovery job)
The resources defined by the recovery object store will be used when
injecting the sidecar in the recovery job.
If a sidecar is needed by PG instances pod, the resources defined in
the target object store will be used. Should this object store be not
defined, the replica object store will be used.
Changes to the sidecar configuration will be applied on the next
reconciliation of the `Cluster` resources it.
