beginnerDocker Networking: Bridge, Host, Overlay, DNS & Port Mapping
Can a container be attached to multiple networks at once?
Yes. A common pattern is an API gateway or BFF service attached to both a public-facing network and an internal backend network, acting as the only bridge between the two trust zones. `docker network connect <network> <container>` attaches an already-running container to an additional network without restarting it.
