An SslCertificate resource, used for HTTPS load balancing.
---
# 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.
