How enable google managed certificate on Google Kubernetes?

Question

I'm new to GKE now am trying to creating a new cluster for RASA. I'm trying to create an ingress with HTTPS to point to a loadbalancer in this cluster. But I'm unable to select the option Create Google-managed certificate from the list. It seems to be disabled in this cluster. How enable this?

The help shows:

To create Google-managed certificates, your cluster needs to have ManagedCertificate Custom Resource Definition present.

  • $ kubectl expose deployment nginx --port=80 --type=NodePort
• Go to:
  • Cloud Console -> Kubernetes Engine -> Services & Ingress -> Create Ingress (after choosing nginx Service) -> Frontend configuration -> HTTPS -> Create a new certificate

The following option can be seen as available:
