Dear all,
In my system, two containers need to exchange data as quick as possible
and the two containers are hosted by the same physical machine, I wonder
if socket is the only method for communication between containers?
If you have an area of filesystem that is shared + writable to both
containers, they could create UNIX sockets in that filesystem, rather
than TCP sockets. Also they could create named FIFO pipes.
Another option would be to create a shared memory backed file in shmfs
or hugepagefs and expose it to both containers.
