Does it assist with network security?

Yes, it facilitates network isolation by teaching you how to use internal-only networks and custom subnets to restrict container access to the outside world.

What happens if my container can't reach another service?

The skill provides a diagnostic checklist and specific commands like 'nslookup' and 'docker network inspect' to identify if the issue is a DNS failure, a missing network link, or a port mapping error.

Can this skill help with Docker Swarm networking?

Yes, it includes specific configurations for creating and managing attachable, encrypted overlay networks required for multi-host Swarm environments.

How does it improve service discovery?

It provides patterns for internal DNS resolution and service naming, allowing containers to communicate reliably using service aliases instead of ephemeral IP addresses.

What network drivers does this skill support?

It supports all major Docker network drivers including bridge (default), overlay (multi-host), host (performance), and macvlan (physical network mapping).
