How to Setup HTTPS/SSL/TLS on Google Cloud Platform

This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a website on Google Compute engine virtual machine instance, configuring a load balancer, enabling Google managed SSL certificate, configuring the DNS zone and DNS records with the domain registrar.

This is the easiest way to setup SSL for any web server or API service.

Listen UP! GCP changed how health checks work - I NOW SUGGEST USING a TCP Health Check instead of HTTP. This should resolve some issues folks were seeing.

I can not even begin to explain how grateful I am. I deployed flask app and I have been trying to sort this out for days. Thank you!

[josephwaldner]

this is a GREAT vid. If you are using google domains make sure to add an 'a' record that points to your public ip address from the load balancer.

This has to be the best & clearest explanation. Thank you so much

Works exactly as described. Saved me lots of time and effort! Thank you for your detailed introduction! Just some tips, you can use subdomain instead of the main domain for the load balancer certificate, and add type-A dns mapping in your domain provider(namecheap) instead of GCP. Then your main domain can still point to digital ocean but the subdomain can point to GCP load balancer.

Thank you so much! Finally 'll forget about buying and configurating mannually the certs

[alexanderdelagarza]

was a rough start but you delivered! Thanks for the set up, and thanks for leaving that last part as well so we can see what causes the error and what we can do or expect to fix them

Excellent, it was a great help, and thanks for the nice intro

[zbjptid]

This is how it's done. You start off with an illustration!

Break dows like this enormously helpful. I'm working hard to teach myself these things while going to school for design. The Prob with the school doesn't teach you how to maneuver the computer and set things up by yourself. But teaching myself online, everyone assumes you know the simple things, for example, if I need to get to my PHP for WordPress because I changed the URL on my site. So basically, The instructions say it's easy (talk about make me feel bad). You need to go in my PHP in ssh type in code, then I'm good. How do I get to the PHP and maneuver while I'm in there? These are the things that make working online extremely difficult. Customer Service forget about it, on most platforms; WordPress has no contact. They have forms, and people send you right back to the confusing directions. All I'm saying is thank you so so much for your videos. You are certainly helping people.

Thank you so much for these 2 tuts,
I have 2vms
1.Win server OS for web app
2.linux for DB
- I want to access the application through a domain instade of the vm static IP
everything worked fine ( instance group, LB frontend, SSL cert., cloud DNS .. etc)
[ the problem is my backend service status is unhealthy ]
http and https rules
IP : 0.0.0.0/0
TCP : 80, 442
when I hit my vm static ip address directly the app works fine.

To be honest you got a nice tutorial and very good explanations as to what happens behind the scene, you've also given really clear steps on how to chieve this.
Thing is I followed these steps but it still failed with same error @rudranil chakrabortty had earlier stated, I researched on this and found out this problem is unique and many persons have faced same in the past, it had to deal with the "external IP" which the frontend resolves to. There are couple of open issues on google support with regards this, no solution has been profound to this yet.
Watching your vid however, I can't say how yours seem to work pretty well. Since I couldn't get mine working with the steps you explained in your vids, I had to explore other means, and it worked for me.

[raedmusaab]

Mate, i have a simple Lab to access but cryptocurrency prob still there where GCP stop my VM. how to secure the https connection ?

[dhanysaguntoro]

the load balancer editor now is different, I tried to adapt your tutorial using this new interface but failed, I tried to navigate the load balancer's STATIC IP using my browser but didn't get any response,
