Link to Lesson: Load Balancing and SSL policies

Google Cloud load balancers support SSL for encryption in transit.

  • Google Cloud load balancers support HTTPS or SSL Proxy for encryption in transit.
    • In this course, the term “SSL” refers to both the SSL and TLS protocols.
    • Load balancers require at least one signed SSL certificate installed on the target HTTPS proxy for the load balancer.

Google Cloud offers three pre-configured managed SSL profiles

  • Compatible: Allows the broadest set of clients
  • Modern: Supports a wide set of SSL/TLS features, allowing modern clients to negotiate SSL/TLS.
  • Restricted: Supports a reduced set of SSL/TLS features, intended to meet stricter compliance requirements

Custom SSL policy profiles

  • Allow SSL features to be individually specified; you can specify the exact SSL features requires.
