Overview of this book

The Linux DevOps Handbook is a comprehensive resource that caters to both novice and experienced professionals, ensuring a strong foundation in Linux. This book will help you understand how Linux serves as a cornerstone of DevOps, offering the flexibility, stability, and scalability essential for modern software development and operations. You’ll begin by covering Linux distributions, intermediate Linux concepts, and shell scripting to get to grips with automating tasks and streamlining workflows. You’ll then progress to mastering essential day-to-day tools for DevOps tasks. As you learn networking in Linux, you’ll be equipped with connection establishment and troubleshooting skills. You’ll also learn how to use Git for collaboration and efficient code management. The book guides you through Docker concepts for optimizing your DevOps workflows and moves on to advanced DevOps practices, such as monitoring, tracing, and distributed logging. You’ll work with Terraform and GitHub to implement continuous integration (CI)/continuous deployment (CD) pipelines and employ Atlantis for automated software delivery. Additionally, you’ll identify common DevOps pitfalls and strategies to avoid them.

Docker networking

There are four types of Docker networking: none, bridge, host, and overlay.

Bridge is the default network mode in Docker. Containers in the same bridge network can communicate with each other. Shortly, it creates a virtual network, in which containers are assigned IP addresses and can cummunicate using them, while anything outside of that network cannot reach any of those addresses. In the Host network, the container uses the host’s network stack. This means that the container shares your machine’s IP address and network interfaces.

Overlay mode allows you to create a virtual network that spans multiple Docker hosts. Containers in different hosts can communicate with each other as if they are on the same host. It’s useful when running Docker Swarm.

Using the Docker command line, you are able to create a custom network of any of those types.

None network

A none network in Docker is a special type of network mode that disables all...
