GCP Compute Target Https Proxy

A Google Cloud Platform Target HTTPS Proxy terminates incoming HTTPS connections at the edge of Google’s network and forwards the decrypted traffic to the appropriate backend service, as defined by a URL map. It is a core component of External HTTPS Load Balancing. The proxy holds one or more SSL certificates to present to clients and can be configured with an SSL policy to control accepted protocol versions and cipher suites.

Supported Methods​

gcp-compute-ssl-policy​

A Target HTTPS Proxy can be attached to a single SSL policy via the ssl_policy field, dictating which TLS versions and cipher suites are permitted for connections handled by this proxy.

gcp-compute-url-map​

Each Target HTTPS Proxy must reference exactly one URL map. The URL map contains the rules that decide how requests received by the proxy are directed to backend services.

gcp-compute-ssl-certificate​

The proxy stores one or more SSL certificates, referenced through the ssl_certificates field, to authenticate itself to clients and establish encrypted HTTPS sessions.
