-:construction: As stated in the [1.7 release note](https://blog.containo.us/traefik-1-7-yet-another-slice-of-awesomeness-2a9c99737889#782d), a significant update is in progress on the [master](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master) branch. This branch will remain in constant evolution and prone to change with little notice, so use it for test purposes only.

 ## The Dynamic Configuration 
 
 Traefik gets its _dynamic configuration_ from [providers](../providers/overview.md): wether an orchestrator, a service registry, or a plain old configuration file. Since this configuration is specific to your infrastructure choices, we invite you to refer to the [dedicated section of this documentation](../providers/overview.md).
