None network driver

The “none” network driver in Docker is a special type of network that provides complete isolation for a container from any external network. When you attach a container to the “none” network, it means the container has no network connectivity whatsoever. This can be useful in certain scenarios where you want to prevent a container from communicating with other containers or external networks.

If you want to completely isolate the networking stack of a container, you can use the --network none flag when starting the container. Within the container, only the loopback device is created.

👉 Possible Use Cases:

The “none” network driver in Docker provides complete network isolation for containers, making it suitable for specific use cases where network connectivity is not required or should be restricted. Here are some possible scenarios where you might consider using the “none” network driver:

• Highly Sensitive Applications: For applications handling highly sensitive data or running critical processes, isolating them from any network connectivity using the “none” network driver adds an extra layer of security.
• Isolation from Malware or Attacks: In environments where there’s a higher risk of network-based attacks or malware, running containers on the “none” network can reduce the attack surface.
