+- `LoadBalancer` `(LoadBalancer`) - Determines the load balancing policy and 
+   configuration for services issuing requests to this upstream.
+   This option is available in Consul versions 1.8.4 and newer.
+   
+   **Note:** The options below are specific to Envoy proxy.
+   
+  - `Policy` `(string: "")` - The load balancing policy used to select a host.
+    One of: `random`, `round_robin`, `least_request`, `ring_hash`, `maglev`.

+  - `RingHashConfig` `(RingHashConfig)` - Configuration for the `ring_hash`

+    - `MaximumRingRize` `(int: 8192)` - Determines the maximum number of entries

+       from which to select the one with the least requests.
+
+  - `HashPolicies` `(array<HashPolicies>)` - a list of hash policies to use for
+     hashing load balancing algorithms. Hash policies are evaluated individually
+     and combined such that identical lists result in the same hash.
+     If no hash policies are present, or none are successfully evaluated,
+     then a random backend host will be selected.
+    
+     - `Field` `(string: "")` - The attribute type to hash on.
+        Must be one of `header`,`cookie`, or `query_parameter`.
+        Cannot be specified along with `SourceAddress`.
+        
+     - `FieldMatchValue` `(string: "")` - The value to hash. 
+        ie. header name, cookie name, URL query parameter name.
+        Cannot be specified along with `SourceAddress`.
+        
+     - `SourceAddress` `(bool: false)` - Determines whether the hash should be of the source IP
+        address rather than of a field and field value.
+        Cannot be specified along with `Field` or `FieldMatchValue`.
+        
+     - `Terminal` `(bool: false)` - Will short circuit the computation of the hash
+        when multiple hash policies are present. If a hash is computed when a
+        Terminal policy is evaluated, then that hash will be used and subsequent
+        hash policies will be ignored.
