# google\_compute\_ssl\_certificate

An SslCertificate resource, used for HTTPS load balancing. This resource
provides a mechanism to upload an SSL key and certificate to
the load balancer to serve secure connections from the user.


To get more information about SslCertificate, see:

* [API documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/sslCertificates)
* How-to Guides
    * [Official Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/ssl-certificates)

## Example Usage - Ssl Certificate Basic


```hcl
resource "google_compute_ssl_certificate" "default" {
  name_prefix = "my-certificate-"
  description = "a description"
  private_key = "${file("path/to/private.key")}"
  certificate = "${file("path/to/certificate.crt")}"

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}
```

## Example Usage - Ssl Certificate Random Provider


```hcl
# You may also want to control name generation explicitly:
resource "google_compute_ssl_certificate" "default" {
  # The name will contain 8 random hex digits,
  # e.g. "my-certificate-48ab27cd2a"
  name        = "${random_id.certificate.hex}"
  private_key = "${file("path/to/private.key")}"
  certificate = "${file("path/to/certificate.crt")}"

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

resource "random_id" "certificate" {
  byte_length = 4
  prefix      = "my-certificate-"

  # For security, do not expose raw certificate values in the output
  keepers = {
    private_key = "${base64sha256(file("path/to/private.key"))}"
    certificate = "${base64sha256(file("path/to/certificate.crt"))}"
  }
}
```

## Example Usage - Ssl Certificate Target Https Proxies


```hcl
// Using with Target HTTPS Proxies
//
// SSL certificates cannot be updated after creation. In order to apply
// the specified configuration, Terraform will destroy the existing
// resource and create a replacement. To effectively use an SSL
// certificate resource with a Target HTTPS Proxy resource, it's
// recommended to specify create_before_destroy in a lifecycle block.
// Either omit the Instance Template name attribute, specify a partial
// name with name_prefix, or use random_id resource. Example:

resource "google_compute_ssl_certificate" "default" {
  name_prefix = "my-certificate-"
  private_key = "${file("path/to/private.key")}"
  certificate = "${file("path/to/certificate.crt")}"

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

resource "google_compute_target_https_proxy" "default" {
  name             = "test-proxy"
  url_map          = "${google_compute_url_map.default.self_link}"
  ssl_certificates = ["${google_compute_ssl_certificate.default.self_link}"]
}

resource "google_compute_url_map" "default" {
  name        = "url-map"
  description = "a description"

  default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"

  host_rule {
    hosts        = ["mysite.com"]
    path_matcher = "allpaths"
  }

  path_matcher {
    name            = "allpaths"
    default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"

    path_rule {
      paths   = ["/*"]
      service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"
    }
  }
}

resource "google_compute_backend_service" "default" {
  name        = "backend-service"
  port_name   = "http"
  protocol    = "HTTP"
  timeout_sec = 10

  health_checks = ["${google_compute_http_health_check.default.self_link}"]
}

resource "google_compute_http_health_check" "default" {
  name               = "http-health-check"
  request_path       = "/"
  check_interval_sec = 1
  timeout_sec        = 1
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:


* `certificate` -
  (Required)
  The certificate in PEM format.
  The certificate chain must be no greater than 5 certs long.
  The chain must include at least one intermediate cert.

* `private_key` -
  (Required)
  The write-only private key in PEM format.


- - -


* `description` -
  (Optional)
  An optional description of this resource.

* `name` -
  (Optional)
  Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is
  created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with
  RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match
  the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the
  first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following
  characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last
  character, which cannot be a dash.

  These are in the same namespace as the managed SSL certificates.
* `project` - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs.
    If it is not provided, the provider project is used.


* `name_prefix` - (Optional) Creates a unique name beginning with the
 specified prefix. Conflicts with `name`.

## Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:


* `creation_timestamp` -
  Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

* `certificate_id` -
  The unique identifier for the resource.
* `self_link` - The URI of the created resource.


## Timeouts

This resource provides the following
[Timeouts](/docs/configuration/resources.html#timeouts) configuration options:

- `create` - Default is 4 minutes.
- `delete` - Default is 4 minutes.

## Import

SslCertificate can be imported using any of these accepted formats:

```
$ terraform import google_compute_ssl_certificate.default projects/{{project}}/global/sslCertificates/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_ssl_certificate.default {{project}}/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_ssl_certificate.default {{name}}
```

-> If you're importing a resource with beta features, make sure to include `-provider=google-beta`
as an argument so that Terraform uses the correct provider to import your resource.
