Summary

In this chapter, we have seen the importance of container communications and the various possibilities provided by CoreOS and docker to provide the communication. In the next chapter, we are going to see how OVS (OpenVSwitch) can be used to provide the communication mechanism over an underlay network. Apart from Flannel, Weave, and OVS, there are other mechanisms like pipework available to provision the network inside the CoreOS and docker environment.
