To build web applications that act in concert securely, use the docker networks feature. Networks, by definition, provide complete isolation for containers. Hence, it is important to have control on the networks that your applications run on. Docker container networks give you that control. The following article describes describes the type of networks that the docker engine creates by default and shows you how to create your own, user-defined networks.
