Application monitoring plays a critical role in the success of your digital products. As you monitor various performance metrics such as usage of CPU, memory, network traffic, and more, you can swiftly take pre-emptive actions before things develop into a larger problem. In spite of the importance of monitoring, the task can become challenging when your infrastructure exists across multiple cloud platforms including AWS and Heroku.

Docker is a platform as a service product. With Docker, you can easily deploy applications into Docker containers. Containers are software "packages" that bundle together an application's source code with its libraries, configurations, and dependencies. This helps software run more consistently on different machines. To use Docker containers, you need to understand how Docker networking works. Below, we'll answer the question: "what is Docker network host?". We'll also take a look to see how it works.
