I have a AKS cluster running in Azure and have deployed Dapr runtime into it along with a few other test service deployments that are annotated with dapr.io/enabled, dapr.io/id.
A Daprd side-car container instance co-locates within the same pod as each service so all is good there.
I then installed NGINX with the Dapr side-car annotations however I do not see a Daprd container instance co-located within the same pod as the NGINX container.
I followed this article to deploy NGINX with Dapr annotations applied through dapr-annotation.yaml file
Here are my workloads...
Here are my Services and ingresses...
Deployed Service1 has side-car...
Deployed Echo Service has side-car...
NGINX does not have a side-car but has annotations...
