title: Can a DPDK instance be shared between 2 linux apps in different containers?
body: <p>I'm afraid I'm not a DPDK expert, and know even less about containers. So apologies if this is a silly question; just trying to find out whether something is possible before spending a lot of time learning enough to work out that it isn't.</p>
  <p>We have 2 apps which communicate with each other. Before we moved to containers, they used a single DPDK instance for that communication - one app was the primary DPDK process which created some DPDK structures with well defined names, and the other app was a secondary DPDK process which searched for and (hopefully) found those named structures. Messages were passed from app to app through the shared structures.</p>
  <p>But can we still do that if the apps are running in different containers?</p>
