+### Creating a Pod that has an init Container
+
+In this exercise you create a Pod that has one application Container and one
+init Container. The init Container runs to completion before the application
+container starts.
+
+Here is the configuration file for the Pod:
+
+{% include code.html language="yaml" file="init-containers.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/init-containers.yaml" %}
+
+In the configuration file, you can see that the Pod has a Volume that the init
+Container and the application Container share. Notice that the init Container
+is a beta feature and is specified as an annotation.
+
+The init Container mounts the
+shared Volume at `/work-dir`, and the application Container mounts the shared
+Volume at `/usr/share/nginx/html`. The init Container runs the following command
+and then terminates:
+
+     wget -O /work-dir/index.html http://kubernetes.io
+
+Notice that the init Container writes the `index.html` file in the root directory
+of the nginx server.
+
+Create the Pod:
+
+    kubectl create -f http://k8s.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/init-containers.yaml
+
+Verify that the nginx Container is running:
+
+    kubectl get pod init-demo
+
+The output shows that the nginx Container is running:
+
+    NAME      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+    nginx     1/1       Running   0          43m
+
+Get a shell into nginx the Container running in the init-demo Pod:
+
+    kubectl exec -it init-demo -- /bin/bash
+
+In your shell, send a GET request to the nginx server:
+
+    root@nginx:~# apt-get update
+    root@nginx:~# apt-get install curl
+    root@nginx:~# curl localhost
+
+The output shows that nginx is serving the web page that was written by the init container:
+
+    <!Doctype html>
+    <html id="home">
+
+    <head>
+    ...
+    "url": "http://kubernetes.io/"}</script>
+    </head>
+    <body>
+      ...
+      <p>Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage ...</p>
+      ...
