+## kubeadm is multi-platform
+
+kubeadm deb packages and binaries are built for amd64, arm and arm64, following the [multi-platform proposal](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/proposals/multi-platform.md).
+
+deb-packages are released for ARM and ARM 64-bit, but not RPMs (yet, reach out if there's interest).
+
+Anyway, ARM had some issues when making v1.4, see [#32517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32517) [#33485](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33485), [#33117](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33117) and [#33376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33376). 
+
+However, thanks to the PRs above, `kube-apiserver` works on ARM from the `v1.4.1` release, so make sure you're at least using `v1.4.1` when running on ARM 32-bit
+
+The multiarch flannel daemonset can be installed this way. Make sure you replace `ARCH=amd64` with `ARCH=arm` or `ARCH=arm64` if necessary.
+
+    # ARCH=amd64 curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luxas/flannel/update-daemonset/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml | sed "s/amd64/${ARCH}/g" | kubectl create -f -
+
+And obviously replace `ARCH=amd64` with `ARCH=arm` or `ARCH=arm64` depending on the platform you're running on.
+
 ## Limitations
 
 Please note: `kubeadm` is a work in progress and these limitations will be addressed in due course.
 
-1. The cluster created here doesn't have cloud-provider integrations, so for example won't work with (for example) [Load Balancers](/docs/user-guide/load-balancer/) (LBs) or [Persistent Volumes](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/walkthrough/) (PVs).
-   To easily obtain a cluster which works with LBs and PVs Kubernetes, try [the "hello world" GKE tutorial](/docs/hellonode) or [one of the other cloud-specific installation tutorials](/docs/getting-started-guides/).
+1. The cluster created here doesn't have cloud-provider integrations by default, so for example it doesn't work automatically with (for example) [Load Balancers](/docs/user-guide/load-balancer/) (LBs) or [Persistent Volumes](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/walkthrough/) (PVs).
+   To set up kubeadm with CloudProvider integrations (it's experimental, but try), refer to the [kubeadm reference](/docs/admin/kubeadm/) document.
 
    Workaround: use the [NodePort feature of services](/docs/user-guide/services/#type-nodeport) for exposing applications to the internet.

 1. `kubectl logs` is broken with `kubeadm` clusters due to [#22770](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/22770).
 
    Workaround: use `docker logs` on the nodes where the containers are running as a workaround.
-1. There is not yet an easy way to generate a `kubeconfig` file which can be used to authenticate to the cluster remotely with `kubectl` on, for example, your workstation.
-
-   Workaround: copy the kubelet's `kubeconfig` from the master: use `scp root@<master>:/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf .` and then e.g. `kubectl --kubeconfig ./admin.conf get nodes` from your workstation.
 
 1. If you are using VirtualBox (directly or via Vagrant), you will need to ensure that `hostname -i` returns a routable IP address (i.e. one on the second network interface, not the first one).
    By default, it doesn't do this and kubelet ends-up using first non-loopback network interface, which is usually NATed.
