How can I access a VM instance using https in GCP

Question

I have created a VM and installed tomcat server in GCP and enabled http and https access. But while using https along with external IP I am unable to access. It works while using http.

Answer 1

The usage of the HTTPS secure web access can be implemented in two main ways when working with CGE instances:

• Set up an instance to terminate HTTPS
• Configure a HTTPS load balancer

I recommend you to take a look on the HTTPS and SSL and Creating and Using SSL Certificates official Google documentation that contains detailed information about the steps required to create this configuration as well as some security method alternatives.
