+### confd
+
+`confd` directory contains haproxy template files for the [confd](https://github.com/kelseyhightower/confd) -- lightweight configuration management tool
+You need to copy content of `confd` directory into /etcd/confd and run confd service:
+```bash
+$ confd -prefix=/service/$PATRONI_SCOPE -backend etcd -node $PATRONI_ETCD_HOST -interval=10
+```
+It will periodically update haproxy.cfg with the actual list of Patroni nodes from `etcd` and "reload" haproxy when it is necessary.
+
+
+### startup-scripts
+
+`startup-scripts` directory contains startup scripts for various OSes and management tools for Patroni.
