-The entrypoint script in the image checks for running the command `haproxy` and replaces it with `haproxy-systemd-wrapper` from haproxy upstream which takes care of signal handling to do the graceful reload. Under the hood this uses the `-sf` option of haproxy so "there are two small windows of a few milliseconds each where it is possible that a few connection failures will be noticed during high loads" (see [Stopping and restarting HAProxy](http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.6/doc/management.txt)).
