Show answer and explanation
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.
