Docker Certified Associate Certification Training Course - Macvlan Network

The video tutorial introduces the Macvlan driver, a lightweight network driver that connects container interfaces directly to host interfaces without using Linux bridging or port mapping. It is beneficial for legacy applications and those monitoring network traffic. The tutorial explains how to configure Macvlan networks, including setting up DHCP to avoid IP conflicts. It also covers the two modes of Macvlan traffic: bridge mode and 802.1Q trunk bridge mode, and discusses advanced configurations for extending multiple L2 VLANs to containers, highlighting the flexibility and control over network policies.
