What problem are you trying to solve?

Now that we have kubernetes/enhancements#753 (aka native sidecar containers https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/08/25/native-sidecar-containers/) can the proxy injector be updated to support it when it is available or via flag?

I would comment in #1869, but it is locked.

This would greatly simplify adopting linkerd with jobs.

How should the problem be solved?

Implement support for the new sidecar pattern into the proxy-injector process and linkerd cli.

Any alternatives you've considered?

Adding the shutdown hook call to all jobs is not easy. This is especially true when you're consuming public helm charts.

How would users interact with this feature?

Either opt-in or opt-out of the new sidecar behavior with a flag gated on a k8s api version check.

Would you like to work on this feature?
