-The self-hosted Kubernetes example provisions a 3 node "self-hosted" Kubernetes v1.6.7 cluster. [bootkube](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/bootkube) is run once on a controller node to bootstrap Kubernetes control plane components as pods before exiting. An etcd3 cluster across controllers is used to back Kubernetes and coordinate Container Linux auto-updates (enabled for disk installs).
