Container Port

Definitions

1. A network port exposed or listened to by a process running inside a container. Container ports are often mapped or routed differently at the platform level, so developers need to distinguish internal listen ports from host or service exposure settings.

   In plain English: The network port used by a process inside a container.

   Example: "The health checks failed because the app listened on one container port while the manifest still routed traffic to the old one."
