Orientation brief

Advanced Networking

You understand bridge networks, port mapping, and container-to-container communication. That's the foundation. But production applications demand more. You need to understand when to use different network drivers, how to architect multi-tier applications with proper security boundaries, how to debug complex networking issues, and how to connect containerized applications to the outside world seamlessly. This module takes you from "I can make containers talk" to "I can architect production-grade network topologies." By the end, you'll understand: - Why bridge networking isn't always the answer - How to use host, none, and macvlan networks - How to design secure, multi-tier network architectures - How containers connect to external services - How to debug any Docker networking issue
