Represents an SSL certificate resource. Google Compute Engine has
two SSL certificate resources: *
Global </compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/sslCertificates> *
Regional </compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/regionSslCertificates>
The global SSL certificates (sslCertificates) are used by: - Global
external Application Load Balancers - Classic Application Load
Balancers - Proxy Network Load Balancers (with target SSL proxies)
The regional SSL certificates (regionSslCertificates) are used by: -
Regional external Application Load Balancers - Regional internal
Application Load Balancers Optionally, certificate file contents
that you upload can contain a set of up to five PEM-encoded
certificates. The API call creates an object (sslCertificate) that
holds this data. You can use SSL keys and certificates to secure
connections to a load balancer. For more information, read Creating
and using SSL certificates, SSL certificates quotas and limits, and
Troubleshooting SSL certificates.
str
A value read into memory from a certificate
file. The certificate file must be in PEM
format. The certificate chain must be no greater
than 5 certs long. The chain must include at
least one intermediate cert.
This field is a member of oneof_ _certificate.
creation_timestamp
str
[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
This field is a member of oneof_ _creation_timestamp.
description
str
An optional description of this resource.
Provide this property when you create the
resource.
This field is a member of oneof_ _description.
expire_time
str
[Output Only] Expire time of the certificate. RFC3339
This field is a member of oneof_ _expire_time.
id
int
[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This
identifier is defined by the server.
This field is a member of oneof_ _id.
kind
str
[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always
compute#sslCertificate for SSL certificates.
This field is a member of oneof_ _kind.
str
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.
This field is a member of oneof_ _name.
private_key
str
A value read into memory from a write-only
private key file. The private key file must be
in PEM format. For security, only insert
requests include this field.
This field is a member of oneof_ _private_key.
region
str
[Output Only] URL of the region where the regional SSL
Certificate resides. This field is not applicable to global
SSL Certificate.
This field is a member of oneof_ _region.
self_link
str
[Output only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
This field is a member of oneof_ _self_link.
MutableSequence[str]
[Output Only] Domains associated with the certificate via
Subject Alternative Name.
type_
str
(Optional) Specifies the type of SSL certificate, either
"SELF_MANAGED" or "MANAGED". If not specified, the
certificate is self-managed and the fields certificate and
private_key are used. Check the Type enum for the list of
possible values.
This field is a member of oneof_ _type.
Classes
Type
Type(value)
(Optional) Specifies the type of SSL certificate, either
"SELF_MANAGED" or "MANAGED". If not specified, the certificate is
self-managed and the fields certificate and private_key are used.
