Use the host network

If a pod is running in the host network of the node where the pod resides, the pod can use the network namespace and network resources of the node. This means that the pod can access loopback devices, listen to addresses, and monitor the traffic of other pods on the node.

1. Open the YAML file host-network.yaml and set hostNetwork to true under spec.
   A complete example of the YAML file is as follows:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
     name: nginx
   spec:
     hostNetwork: true
     containers:
     - name: nginx
       image: nginx

2. Run the following command to create a pod:

   kubectl apply -f host-network.yaml

3. Run the following command to check whether the pod is running in the host network of the node where the pod resides:

   kubectl get pod -o wide

   If the IP address of the pod is the same as that of the node according to the command output, the pod is running in the host network of the node.
