    • Network troubleshooting tools in containers

  • Hands-On Lab: Setting Up a Networked Application

    • Run two containers (e.g., client and server) and test communication
    • Use docker network ls and docker inspect to explore network settings

4. Introduction to Docker Compose

  • 4.1 What is Docker Compose?

    • Purpose and benefits for multi-container applications
    • YAML configuration basics

  • 4.2 Writing Docker Compose Files

    • Defining services, networks, and volumes
    • Key Compose file sections (services, networks, volumes)

  • 4.3 Managing Multi-Container Applications

    • Starting, stopping, and scaling services
    • Environment variables and configuration

  • Hands-On Lab: Creating a Docker Compose Setup

    • Write a Compose file for a network monitoring stack (e.g., Prometheus + Grafana)
    • Launch and verify services

5. Advanced Docker Networking for Network Engineers

  • 5.1 Custom Docker Networks

    • Creating and managing custom bridge networks
    • Configuring DNS and static IPs

    • Using tools like ping, netstat, wireshark in containers
    • Analyzing container logs with docker logs
    • Debugging container network issues

  • Hands-On Lab: Simulating a Network Topology

    • Create a multi-container setup with a custom network (e.g., using Macvlan)
    • Simulate client-server traffic and capture packets with tcpdump

6. Practical Use Cases for Network Engineers

  • 6.1 Running Network Services in Containers

    • Examples: DHCP, DNS, VPN, proxy servers
    • Containerizing network appliances

  • 6.2 Testing and Simulation

    • Using containers for network testing (e.g., iperf, hping)
    • Simulating network failures or latency

  • 6.3 Monitoring and Logging

    • Deploying monitoring tools (e.g., Zabbix, Nagios) in containers
    • Centralized logging for network services

  • Hands-On Lab: Deploying a Simulated Network Lab

    • Automate deployment of DNS, DHCP, or proxy services with Docker Compose
    • Test real-world network scenarios (e.g., resolving domains, routing traffic)

7. Best Practices and Security

  • 7.1 Docker Best Practices

    • Optimizing images (multi-stage builds, minimal base images)
    • Resource constraints (CPU, memory limits)
    • Optimizing network performance (e.g., tuning MTU, bandwidth)

  • 7.2 Container Security for Networking

    • Securing container networks (firewalls, VLANs)
    • Implementing access controls (e.g., user namespaces, avoiding root access)

  • 7.3 Backup and Recovery

    • Backing up container data and configurations
    • Restoring services with Docker Compose

  • Hands-On Lab: Securing a Containerized Network Service
