Container Networking Fundamentals: A Step-by-Step Guide
Container Networking Fundamentals: A Step-by-Step Guide ==================================================================== Containerization has revolutionized the way we deploy and manage applications, but effective container networking is crucial for communication and coordination between containers. In this guide, we’ll explore the fundamentals of container networking, including network namespaces, Linux bridges, and container communication. Prerequisites Before diving into container networking, you should have a basic understanding of: Containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) Networking concepts (e.g., IP addresses, ports) Linux operating system (kernel 4.x or higher) Step 1: Understanding Network Namespaces Network namespaces are a Linux kernel feature that allows multiple isolated network stacks to coexist on a single host.
