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...

Overview of this book
Docker is an open source tool used for creating, deploying, and running applications using containers. With more than 100 self-contained tutorials, this book examines common pain points and best practices for developers building distributed applications with Docker. Each recipe in this book addresses a specific problem and offers a proven, best practice solution with insights into how it works, so that you can modify the code and configuration files to suit your needs.
The Docker Cookbook begins by guiding you in setting up Docker in different environments and explains how to work with its containers and images. You’ll understand Docker orchestration, networking, security, and hosting platforms for effective collaboration and efficient deployment. The book also covers tips and tricks and new Docker features that support a range of other cloud offerings.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to package and deploy end-to-end distributed applications with Docker and be well-versed with best practice solutions for common development problems.
