Can you list different types of network modes used in Docker?

Answer from AI

In Docker, there are several network modes that determine how containers interact with the network:

  • bridge — the default mode, where containers connect to a virtual Docker bridge isolated from the host.
  • host — the container uses the host's network stack directly, without isolation.
  • none — the container has no network interface.
  • container:<id|name> — the container uses the network stack of another container.
  • overlay — used for networks that connect containers across different hosts (commonly in Docker Swarm).

Each mode is suitable for different scenarios, for example, bridge for isolated applications, host for high-performance tasks.
