A systems administrator needs to deploy a containerized application that requires high network performance and needs to bind directly to a port on the host machine, bypassing any network address translation (NAT). Which container network mode should the administrator use to achieve this?
The host network mode allows a container to share the host's networking namespace directly. This eliminates the overhead of network address translation (NAT) and allows the container to bind to ports on the host's IP address as if it were a native process, which can improve performance. The bridge network mode creates an isolated network for containers and requires port mapping to expose services. The overlay network is designed to connect containers across multiple Docker hosts. The none network mode disables all networking for the container.
