+## Self-hosting the Kubernetes control plane  {#self-hosting}
+As of 1.8, kubeadm can experimentally create a _self-hosted_ Kubernetes control
+plane. This means that key components such as the API server, controller
+manager, and scheduler run as normal pods instead of static pods.

+Self-hosting is beta in kubeadm 1.8 and is expected to become the default in
+kubeadm 1.9. To create a self-hosted cluster, pass the
+`--feature-gates=SelfHosting=true` to `kubeadm init`.
