Synopsis

Key Features

• Enhance your Docker networking skills and protect your organization using advanced networking functions
• Solve Docker networking related issues with confidence using Pipeworks, Weave, and Flannel
• This practical and recipe-based book demonstrates how different containers network with each other using the powerful Docker

Book Description

The networking functionality in Docker has evolved considerably since the product's inception. The Docker engine now offers a rich set of built-in networking features as well as an extensible plugin model, allowing further networking functionality.

This book explores Docker networking capabilities from end to end. You will begin by examining the building blocks used by Docker to implement fundamental container networking. You will then learn how to consume built-in networking constructs as well custom networks you create on your own. We also explore common third-party networking plugins and how the plugins inter-operate with the Docker engine. We discuss the options available to secure container networks as well as end-to-end troubleshooting of container connectivity.

Finally, we examine more advanced Docker networking functions and their relevant use cases.

What you will learn

• Configure Linux networking primitives used by Docker networking
• Build and deploy user-defined Docker networks
• Examine the different options for resolving and linking containers
• Implement custom networks for Docker to consume
• See how to use LibNetwork to implement custom network drivers
• Examine third-party networking plugins such as Weave and Flannel
• Work through solutions to secure Docker containers and networks
• Observe methodologies for troubleshooting container networks
• Explore experimental Docker networking features and advanced features
