Now that you've successfully created a new network, you'd like to configure some containers to use it and verify connectivity between them. There is a docker network already created for you with the name test_network.

    • First, there is a container already running on the system with the name alpine_prime. Add it to the test_network using the appropriate command.

    • Create a new interactive Docker container (i.e., use the -it flags) and add it to the test_network with the correct docker command. Use the alpine:3.19.2 image and use the starting command ping -c 3 alpine_prime. You should see three successful ping replies before it exits.
