Hi,

If your setup needs the use of https load balancer then you need to setup your SSL certificate through GCP load balancer. Regarding the ssl certificate it will depend if you already have an ssl certificate or not.

If you already have an SSL certificate, under GCP load balancer configuration, there is an option that you can upload your own SSL certificate. However, if you don't have an SSL certificate then you can use the Google-managed SSL certificate.

I believe that there is also information shared to you from your past question regarding this matter. If you already have an SSL certificate and you don't need the use of load balancer then you can upload your SSL certificate to your server. Guidance on ssl certificate configuration will depend what kind of server that you have.

But if you need the feature of GCP load balancer then your option is to upload your own ssl certificate to the load balancer if you already have one or use the google-managed ssl certificate.
