Cilium, Medium (Advanced), Networking. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/what-is-ciliums-host-reachable-services-feature

- A. A way to make Kubernetes services accessible from outside the cluster
- B. A feature that allows pods to access services on the host
- C. A feature that makes Kubernetes services accessible from the host itself
- D. A way to check if services are reachable from all hosts

**Answer:** A feature that makes Kubernetes services accessible from the host itself

**Explanation:** Cilium's 'host-reachable services' feature makes Kubernetes services accessible from the host itself. By default, when using Cilium's kube-proxy replacement, services are only accessible from pods. This feature extends service access to processes running directly on the host, which can be useful for monitoring tools or other host-level services.
