In Traefik the next command:

> ```auto
> http:
> services: 
> my-service  
> loadBalancer:
> sticky: 
> cookie: {}
> 
> ```

allows to use a service named “my-service” which could be selected from a set of clones of this service. In other words, traefik could select any clone of “my-service” to answer a request made to “my-service” and doing load balancing with these “clones”

How can this be done with Kubernetes? I installed traefik in my kubernetes cluster and I need to have several “cloned” services behind this proxy server and another different pod also behind traefik that will redirect calls to one of the cloned ones? traefik will do a load balancing among these replicas

Thanks in advance

Jose
