Docker and containerization have revolutionized the way software is developed, shipped, and deployed. They have made it easier for developers to build, test, and deploy applications, and have made it possible for organizations to achieve faster time-to-market and improved scalability. However, as technology evolves, the future of Docker and containerization remains uncertain. Here are some potential developments we may see in the future of Docker and containerization.

  • Greater adoption

        Containerization has already been widely adopted by enterprises and cloud providers, and this trend is expected to continue. As more organizations realize the benefits of containerization, they are likely to migrate their applications to containers. This will drive the demand for containerization tools, such as Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.

  • Consolidation

The containerization market is currently dominated by a few major players, such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Red Hat. As the market matures, we may see consolidation among these players, as well as acquisitions and mergers. This could result in fewer, but more comprehensive containerization solutions.


  • Integration with serverless

Serverless computing, which allows developers to write and deploy code without worrying about infrastructure, is gaining popularity. As a result, we may see greater integration between Docker and containerization and serverless technologies, allowing developers to deploy serverless applications in containers.


  • Increased security

Security is always a concern in the world of software development, and containerization is no exception. In the future, we may see greater emphasis on security in containerization tools, including better isolation and authentication mechanisms, improved vulnerability scanning, and more secure networking.


  • Hybrid cloud deployment

With the rise of hybrid cloud architectures, we may see more containerization tools that are designed for deployment across multiple cloud environments, such as on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud. This would make it easier for organizations to deploy and manage containerized applications across their entire infrastructure.


  • Edge computing

Edge computing is a trend that involves processing data closer to where it is generated, rather than sending it to centralized data centers. Containerization is well-suited for edge computing, as it enables applications to be packaged and deployed on small, resource-constrained devices. In the future, we may see greater adoption of containerization for edge computing use cases.


  • Multi-architecture support

Containerization has traditionally been associated with x86-based architectures, but there is growing demand for containerization on other architectures, such as ARM and POWER. This is driven by the rise of IoT devices and edge computing, which often use non-x86 architectures. In the future, we may see greater support for containerization on a wider range of architectures.


  • Standardization

Containerization has many benefits, but it also introduces complexity, particularly around orchestration and networking. In the future, we may see greater standardization in containerization tools and technologies, to make it easier for organizations to adopt and manage containerized applications.


  • More advanced orchestration

Container orchestration is an important part of containerization, and we may see more advanced orchestration features in the future. This could include greater automation, more advanced load balancing, and more sophisticated scheduling algorithms.


  • Improved performance

Containerization can introduce some performance overhead, particularly around networking and storage. In the future, we may see improvements in containerization tools and technologies that reduce this overhead, such as better networking and storage solutions, as well as more efficient container runtimes.

In previous article, we understood the column wise information about netstat output. In this article, we will understand the different examples and uses of this command.

How to get interface statistics?

When we use –i flag with netstat command, it gives the currently configured interface statistics. If we use –a option then it gives all interface’s statistics.
[root@server1 Downloads]# netstat –I
Kernel Interface table
Iface       MTU Met    RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR    TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
eth0       1500   0    39784      0      0      0      568      0      0      0 BMRU
lo        16436   0       16      0      0      0       16      0      0      0 LRU
[root@server1 Downloads]#
[root@server1 Downloads]# netstat -ia
Kernel Interface table
Iface       MTU Met    RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR    TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
eth0       1500   0    40698      0      0      0      639      0      0      0 BMRU
lo        16436   0       16      0      0      0       16      0      0      0 LRU
pan0       1500   0        0      0      0      0        0      0      0      0 BM
sit0       1480   0        0      0      0      0        0      0      0      0 O
[root@server1 Downloads]#

Columns showing information about the packet status as follow:

MTU
Maximum transmission unit
Met
Metric values for that interface
RX-OK/TX-OK
How many packets received or transmitted successfully
RX-ERR/TX-ERR
Errors in packets(not delivered successfully)
RX-DRP/TX-DRP
Number of packets dropped
RX-OVR/TX-OVR
Number of packets are lost because of overrun
Flags
Flags that have been set for interface.

There are different types of flags. We got four types of flag in above example. Below is the short information about these flags.

B
Broadcast address has been set for this interface
O
Address resolution protocol is turned off for this interface
U
Interface is up
P
Point to point connection
R
Interface is running
L
Interface is a loopback device
M
All packets received successfully

How to display different types of connections using netstat command?
TCP, UDP and RAW and unix socket connection we can see by using –t, -u, -w, and –x flags with netstat command. Detailed description about this you will get in this article.

We have already gone through the netstat command uses but there are lots of uses of this command. We will understand some of the uses in this article.
·         When we use –r flag with linux netstat command then it is giving output same as route command. route command gives output info as kernel IP routing table. I have used –n flag with netstat, it gives IP information in dotted rather than symbolic host and network names.



Let’s understand column wise details about above output-

Destination

First column shows the destination IP address or symbolic hostname. 

Gateway

Second column shows the gateway to which the routing entry points. If gateway is not used then asterisk (*) is printed instead. 

Genmask

Third column is general mask, which is used when given IP address finding suitable route then kernel checks with each routing table entry and taking bitwise AND of the address and genmask before comparing it to the target of the route.

Flags

The fourth column can shows the following flags and their meaning as follows:
G             the route uses the gateway
U             the interface to be used is up.
H             only single host can be reached through the route. It is in case of loopback address.
D             this route is dynamically created.
M            sets when table entry was made by ICMP redirect message.
!              the route is reject route and datagram will be dropped.

MSS

Fifth column shows MSS i.e. Maximum segment size. i.e. this is largest datagram size which kernel has constructed for transmission via route.

Window

Sixth column shows the window i.e. it is the maximum amount of data system can accept from single burst from a remote host.

IRTT

Seventh column shows the irtt. i.e. Initial round trip time. The TCP protocol keeps the time to deliver a datagram and then acknowledgement of received, this is called round trip time. And initial round trip time is the time when connection established.
Iface
Eighth and last column gives information about network interface that this route will use.
