In this post, I’d like to cover some of the new Docker network features. Docker 1.9 saw the release of user defined networks and the most recent version 1.10 added some additional features.

I’d like to share some personal news with you, industry watchers and fans of VMware’s network virtualization offering.

Having spent the last decade in a deep, but narrow operating roll, I have decided that going forward I would like to engage much more broadly.
