title: Google Kubernetes Engine: Enable HTTPS for Service type
body: <p>I have an application on GKE that I wish to be available via HTTPS only, so I have gotten a signed certificate to secure the application using TLS.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked out a lot of tutorials on how I can do this, but they all refer to using Ingress and automatically requesting the certificate using, LetsEncrypt and KubeLego. But I wish to continue using the external load balancers (the compute engine instances that google has provided me) but I just want my application to be accessible via https. </p>
  
  <p>How do I apply my server.crt and server.key files to enable https.Do I <a href="https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/ssl-certificates" rel="noreferrer"> apply it to the Load balancers</a> or to the kubernetes cluster.</p>
