+=== 8.0
+
+// tag::80-bc[]
+The following breaking changes are introduced in APM version 8.0.
+
+[float]
+==== Indices are now manged by {fleet}
+
+All index management has been removed from APM Server;
+{fleet} is now entirely responsible for setting up index templates, index lifecycle polices,
+and index pipelines.
+
+As a part of this change, the following settings have been removed:
+
+* `apm-server.ilm.*`
+* `apm-server.register.ingest.pipeline.*`
+* `setup.*`
+
+[float]
+==== Data streams by default
+
+APM Server now only writes to well-defined data streams;
+writing to classic indices is no longer supported.
+
+As a part of this change, the following settings have been removed:
+
+* `apm-server.data_streams.enabled`
+* `output.elasticsearch.index`
+* `output.elasticsearch.indices`
+* `output.elasticsearch.pipeline`
+* `output.elasticsearch.pipelines`
+
+[float]
+==== New {es} output
+
+APM Server has a new {es} output implementation; it is no longer necessary to manually
+tune the output of APM Server.
+
+As a part of this change, the following settings have been removed:
+
+* `output.elasticsearch.bulk_max_size`
+* `output.elasticsearch.worker`
+* `queue.*`
+
+[float]
+==== New source map upload endpoint
+
+The source map upload endpoint has been removed from APM Server.
+Source maps should now be uploaded directly to {kib} instead.
+
+[float]
+==== Legacy Jaeger endpoints have been removed
+
+The legacy Jaeger gRPC and HTTP endpoints have been removed from APM Server.
+
+As a part of this change, the following settings have been removed:
+
