Docker Container Networking
Multicontainer Docker - Networking and Compose
Published on 10 August 2018.
Docker containers and services do not even need to be aware that they are deployed on Docker, or whether their peers are also Docker workloads or not. Whether your Docker hosts run Linux, Windows, or a mix of the two, you can use Docker to manage them in a platform-agnostic way.
User-defined bridge networks are best when you need multiple containers to communicate on the same Docker host.
Overlay networks are best when you need containers running on different Docker hosts to communicate.
Macvlan networks are best when you are migrating from a VM setup or need your containers to look like physical hosts on your network, each with a unique MAC address. The macvlan driver uses the concept of a parent interface. This interface can be a host interface such as eth0, a sub-interface, or even a bonded host adaptor which bundles Ethernet interfaces into a single logical interface.
