You get the same workflow in Docker Desktop and the Docker CLI with all the container compute you want.

Docker Desktop includes Docker App, developer tools, Kubernetes and version synchronization to production Docker Engines.

Docker Desktop allows you to leverage certified images and templates and your choice of languages and tools.

Development workflows leverage Docker Hub to extend your development environment to a secure repository for rapid auto-building, continuous integration and secure collaboration.

Build and run the same applications everywhere with the only platform that can provide trusted and certified end-to-edge security.

Windows or Linux; legacy or cloud-native; IDE or text editorDocker Desktop and Desktop Enterprise puts you in control.

Docker makes it easy to get up and running in minutes and rapidly code, test, and collaborate while ensuring consistency between development and production.

You get certified Kubernetes and Docker, for developers of all levels of container expertise.

Pre-defined and customizable application templates adhere to corporate standards and automate configuration, eliminating error-prone manual setup.

Intuitive Application Designer facilitates the packaging, installing, and managing of multi-service applications as a shareable package.

Libnetwork is an open source Docker library which implements all of the key concepts that make up the CNM.

In this blog on Docker Networking, you will go through the following topics: What is Docker Networking in Docker Goals of Docker Networking Container Network Model Network Drivers Hands-On What Is Docker To understand Docker, you need to know about the history of how applications were deployed before and then how applications are being deployed using containers now.

As you can see in the above diagram, the old way had applications on the host.

So, n number of applications share the libraries present in that operating system.

But, with containerization, the operating system will have a kernel which is the only thing thats going to be common between all the applications.

So, Docker in simple terms is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications, enabling the user to separate applications from infrastructures with the help of containers to deliver software quickly.

So, how do these containers communicate with each other in various situations Well, that comes through Docker Networking.

Docker Networking Before I deep dive into Docker Networking let me show you the workflow of Docker.

A developer writes a code that stipulates application requirements or the dependencies in an easy to write Docker File and this Docker File produces Docker Images.

So, whatever dependencies are required for a particular application are present in this image.

Now, Docker Containers are nothing but the runtime instance of Docker Image.

These images are uploaded onto the Docker Hub(Git repository for Docker Images) which contains publicprivate repositories.

So, from public repositories, you can pull your image as well and you can upload your own images onto the Docker Hub.

Then, from Docker Hub, various teams such as Quality Assurance or Production teams will pull that image and prepare their own containers.

These individual containers, communicate with each other through a network to perform the required actions, and this is nothing but Docker Networking.

So, you can define Docker Networking as a communication passage through which all the isolated containers communicate with each other in various situations to perform the required actions.

What do you think are the goals of Docker Networking Goals of Docker Networking Flexibility Docker provides flexibility by enabling any number of applications on various platforms to communicate with each other.

Scalability Docker is a fully distributed network, which enables applications to grow and scale individually while ensuring performance.

Decentralized Docker uses a decentralized network, which enables the capability to have the applications spread and highly available.

In the event that a container or a host is suddenly missing from your pool of resource, you can either bring up an additional resource or pass over to services that are still available.

User Friendly Docker makes it easy to automate the deployment of services, making them easy to use in day-to-day life.

So, the ability to use Docker Enterprise Edition and get all of the functionality very easy and straightforward, makes Docker platform to be very easy to be used.

To enable the above goals, you need something known as the Container Network Model.
