This isolation-through-subnets scheme is an example of carrying over a
well-known technique from the 'on metal' days to containers.
### Dynamic network attachment
In some scenarios containers are started independently, e.g. via some
existing tool chain, or require more complex startup sequences than
provided by `weave run`. And sometimes the decision which application
network a container should be part of is made post startup. For these
situation, weave allows an existing, running container to be attached
to the weave network. To illustrate, we can achieve the same effect as
the first example with
host1# C=$(docker run -d -t -i ubuntu)
host1# weave attach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
There is a matching `weave detach` command:
host1# weave detach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
You can detach a container from one application network and attach it
to another:
host1# weave detach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
host1# weave attach 10.0.2.1/24 $C
or attach a container to multiple application networks, effectively
sharing it between applications:
host1# weave attach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
host1# weave attach 10.0.2.1/24 $C

### Attach to already-running containers
If you don't want to start containers via the `weave` script, e.g. because
you are controlling them as part of some larger orchestration scheme, you can
attach the weave network to an already-running container. To illustrate, we
can achieve the same effect as the first example like this:
host1# C=$(docker run -d -t -i ubuntu)
host1# weave attach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
There is a matching `weave detach` command:
host1# weave detach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
You can detach a container from one subnet and re-attach it to another:
host1# weave detach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
host1# weave attach 10.0.2.1/24 $C
or attach a container to multiple subnets:
host1# weave attach 10.0.1.1/24 $C
host1# weave attach 10.0.2.1/24 $C
### Service export
Services running in containers on a weave network can be made
