# Overview Providers

[![logo-traefik-proxy-logo.png](https://wiki.aeoneros.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/kW0ACRZXvBoVTdUh-logo-traefik-proxy-logo.png)](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/overview/)Configuration discovery in Traefik is achieved through *Providers*.

The *providers* are infrastructure components, whether orchestrators, container engines, cloud providers, or key-value stores. The idea is that Traefik queries the provider APIs in order to find relevant information about routing, and when Traefik detects a change, it dynamically updates the routes.
