Eshoponcontainers: [QUESTION] How does this docker environment configuration work?
I don't know if it's suitable to ask the question here, feel free to close/delete it if not.
I see something like below in docker-compose files.
ordering.api:
environment:
- identityUrl=http://identity.api:5105
In the Startup.cs of Ordering.API project, the configuration value (I think it's http://identity.api:5105) is used. How does it work? Or somewhere else identity.api will be translated to the correct address?

Hi @FDUdannychen
Basically, all docker containers started by docker-compose run in the same network, created by Docker. Under this network containers can see between them by using their name (name defined in the docker-compose file).
If you look docker-compose.yml file you'll see that the container running Identity Server is named "identity.api". That means that any other container can access this container using this name (identity.api).
