In the previous recipes, we used the default bridge that gets activated when we install Docker. The containers that are connected through the default bridge can communicate with each other using the IP address, but not the container's name. In microservice architecture, multiple containers are orchestrated to provide a meaningful higher-level service, and it is imperative that these containers communicate with each other effectively. The container IP address is assigned during the container start time, and hence it does not work well for multicontainer orchestration. Docker made an attempt to address this issue by linking containers statically using the --link option of the docker container run command. Unfortunately, the linked containers have a tightly coupled container life cycle, so a restart of a container might impede the complete...
