Google Cloud Platform - Compute Engine/App Engine - SSL/HTTPS

Question

goal: make my google cloud app ssl

used a prebuilt solution to launch an instance on google's compute engine. i need to upload ssl cert to accept credit cards & more or less do anything. i cannot find a ui or any way to ssl my app/domain with compute engine.

google's app engine has a ui to upload certs but no way to launch prebuilt solutions or transfer apps from compute engine.

also, of course, the domain is registered using google domains and the app is registered to google cloud platform under same account.

thanks -- matt

You can setup an HTTPS Load Balancer in front of your GCE instances and install an SSL certificate and key there.
