You can define second one container as init container. Init containers are exactly like regular containers, except they always run to completion, each init container must complete successfully before the next one starts.
Here is an example:
apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: example labels: app: app spec: containers: - name: app-container image: busybox:1.28 command: ['sh', '-c', 'echo The app is running! && sleep 3600'] initContainers: - name: init-example image: busybox:1.28 command: ['sh', '-c', "until nslookup myservice.$(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace).svc.cluster.local; do echo waiting for myservice; sleep 2; done"] Take a look: init-containers.
