I have a CentOS 7 host on which I am running Docker. When I do a ping from my host to 8.8.8.8, ping was successful whereas same inside a docker container is not working.
From Host
[root@linux1 ~]# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=31.5 ms

From Docker Container (I am using basic ubuntu image):
[root@linux1 ~]# docker run ubuntu ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
I figured out the issue. It is not an issue with the DNS but an issue with the network connection itself inside Docker containers. Drilled down the issue is the default IP assigned to docker0 interface, which conflicted with my network address. Forced docker daemon to assign an IP so that it won't conflict and my issue is resolved.
Thanks
