If you use Docker to develop and deploy apps, then learning about Docker's built-in networking capabilities could be valuable to you. It is possible to simulate a networked environment using Docker. You would not have to purchase and set up expensive hardware, and that would save you time and money. In this project, you will pretend to be the employee of a fictional company named Acme. You will learn about creating a Docker network, running containers so that they join a particular network, inspecting network objects, testing connectivity, and managing networked containers. There are also two optional hands-on practice activities to help you learn these new skills with confidence.

Skills you will develop

  • Linux Command Line

  • Docker

  • Docker networking

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

  1. Verify Docker is installed and create a user-defined network

  2. Run containers and connect to networks

  3. Inspect the networks and test with pings

  4. Practice: Test connectivity of the it-server container

  5. Move a network container to a new network

  6. Disconnect containers and remove the network

  7. Optional Cumulative Challenge: Manage Docker Networking
