-## ETCD Leader Election
+## NewElection()
 Use etcd for leader election if you have several instances of a service running in production
 and you only want one of the service instances to preform a task.
 
 `LeaderElection` starts a goroutine which performs an election and maintains a leader
- while services join and leave the election. Calling `Stop()` will `Concede()` leadership if
-  we currently have it.

+## NewEtcdConfig()
+Designed to be used in applications that share the same etcd config
+and wish to reuse the same config throughout the application.
+
+```go
+import (
+    "os"
+    "fmt"
+
+    "github.com/mailgun/holster/etcdutil"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // These environment variables provided by the environment,
+    // we set them here to only to illustrate how `NewEtcdConfig()`
+    // uses the environment to create a new etcd config
+    os.Setenv("ETCD3_USER", "root")
+    os.Setenv("ETCD3_PASSWORD", "rootpw")
+    os.Setenv("ETCD3_ENDPOINT", "etcd-n01:2379,etcd-n02:2379,etcd-n03:2379")
+
+    // These default to /etc/mailgun/ssl/localhost/etcd-xxx.pem if the files exist
+    os.Setenv("ETCD3_TLS_CERT", "/path/to/etcd-cert.pem")
+    os.Setenv("ETCD3_TLS_KEY", "/path/to/etcd-key.pem")
+    os.Setenv("ETCD3_CA", "/path/to/etcd-ca.pem")
+
+    // Create a new etc config from available environment variables
+    cfg, err := etcdutil.NewEtcdConfig(nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "while creating etcd config: %s\n", err)
+        return
     }
-})
-wg.Wait()
+
+    // Use cfg to init scroll
+    // Use cfg to init eventbus
+    // Use cfg to init leader election
+}
 ```
 
+## NewSecureClient()
+Just like `NewEtcdConfig()` but returns a connected etcd client for use by the
+rest of the application.
+
+```go
+import (
+    "os"
+    "fmt"
+
+    "github.com/mailgun/holster/etcdutil"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Create a new etc client from available environment variables
+    client, err := etcdutil.NewSecureClient(nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "while creating etcd client: %s\n", err)
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Use client
+}
+```
