Currently, we are using below mention values in **network.host** param in elasticsearch.yml.

network.host: ["localhost", "::1", "10.0.x.xx"]

Here we have used both localhost and non-localhost address. Which mode is this considered(production or development)?

Anything that is not loopback is considered production mode, for the bootstrap tests.
