Entendendo network drivers no Docker

Docker's networking capabilities significantly enhance container management. Containers communicate through internal networks, and Docker offers various network drivers. The bridge network is the default, enabling basic communication between containers on the same host. User-defined bridge networks improve isolation and allow name-based communication. Host networks offer high performance but compromise security and isolation. Overlay networks facilitate communication across multiple hosts, commonly used in Docker Swarm. IPvlan networks provide granular control over IP addresses and offer performance similar to host networks with better isolation. Macvlan networks treat containers as independent network devices, allowing direct access to the physical network. Finally, the none network provides complete network isolation. Choosing the appropriate network driver is crucial for efficient and secure container orchestration. Understanding these options prevents workarounds and improves overall management.
