Getting Started with Container Networking

• Get Docker software up and running alongside a Brocade VDX switch fabric
• Docker helps configure the container side of networking via libnetwork and Docker Swarm.

Option 1: For Orchestration and Visibility
• Container Network Configuration with Brocade Workflow Composer (BWC)
• BWC enables you to write flexible workflows for automation across domains such as physical network fabrics, Docker containers, and ChatOps tools like slack.
• Write a workflow to orchestrate your network when Docker containers are spun up
• Post messages to your tools such as slack when network events occur

Option 2: For Network Visibility
• Gaining visibility is easy with a Brocade fabric of VDX switches
• Write a Python script and run it via BWC or you can download and run it on VDX switches.
• The Python script can interact with Docker Swarm via the API to gain visibility into the containers
• Then it can talk to each VDX switch via NETCONF/REST to get the physical switch information.
• The script can correlate the information to create a map of your physical switch ports and connected hosts in a network fabric.
