Docker Network Host
The host in Docker is the computer that is in charge of managing one or more containers. A networking configuration known as Docker network host, also referred to as Docker host networking, allows a Docker container to share its network namespace with the host computer.
Docker – Containers & Hosts
A common containerization tool in DevOps is Docker. It is an application deployment platform as a service for Docker containers. It consumes the least amount of resources, can be deployed more rapidly, and can scale easily while running your application inside of a container.
- Containers – Containers are “packages” of software that include an application’s source code, libraries, configurations, and dependencies. They make it easier for software to execute consistently and reliably across several machines.
- Docker Host – A real or virtual server that houses the Docker engine, Docker’s main component, is referred to as a “Docker host.” Workloads are contained and executed in Docker containers using the Docker engine.
