Overview of this book

Networking functionality in Docker has changed considerably since its first release, evolving to offer a rich set of built-in networking features, as well as an extensible plugin model allowing for a wide variety of networking functionality. This book explores Docker networking capabilities from end to end. Begin by examining the building blocks used by Docker to implement fundamental containing networking before learning how to consume built-in networking constructs as well as custom networks you create on your own. Next, explore common third-party networking plugins, including detailed information on how these plugins inter-operate with the Docker engine. Consider available options for securing container networks, as well as a process for troubleshooting container connectivity. Finally, examine advanced Docker networking functions and their relevant use cases, tying together everything you need to succeed with your own projects.

Introduction


Docker makes consuming container technology easier than it's ever been before. Known for its ease of use, Docker offers many advanced features but installs with a sane set of defaults that make it easy to quickly start building containers. And while network configuration is typically the one area that requires additional attention before use, Docker makes it easy to get your containers up and on the network.
