Docker Compose and Networking: Easy, secure apps at scale

 
When we released Docker 1.10 and Docker Compose 1.6 on February 4th, we provided you with an easy way to build a fully featured and scalable app. It’s amazing what you can do with just one simple file.

I wanted to share with you how you can also use this functionality, so naturally, I turned it into a video. Using the example voting app we built for DockerCon EU 2015, here is a walk through of how it works:
