We will have two parts to this meetup - in the first part we will cover the lay of the land for how networks are setup, configured and managed for containers and follow that up with a hands-on session. 6:00p-8:00p : Introduction to Container Networking - DJ Pipeworks - Jérôme Petazzoni Docker + OpenvSwitch demo - Sriram Handson Instructions: https://bitbucket.org/snrism/containet Q&As: Online Food: We will have pizzas and sodas. Technical information: We will provide usb sticks with the required scripts. For this hands-on, only pre-req is to install "vagrant" in your laptop.

Start a container w/o using docker's default network config: docker run -d --net=none -t -i ubuntu /bin/bash
Record the Container ID that just started: docker ps
Configure IP addresses on eth0: ./start-container.sh <container-id> <ip-addr>
