Hello,
I am trying to build a hadoop cluster using purely docker containers. Getting the images to build with the tools is not an issue, the problem lies in communication with each other. Right now I am using weavenet to simulate a SDN which works relatively well on a local cluster. But moving this dependency to AWS requires too much work and a lot of unknowns.
My question is, does docker come with the ability to simulate a network, or add to an existing network, so that the containers are able to communicate with each other while not impeding with the host’s own network?
I am not an expert in networking whatsoever. I have very basic networking knowledge so please excuse my poorly written question.
