The New Method to Setup SSL for WordPress on Google Cloud Platform
This tutorial will show you how to setup SSL/https/port 443 for your WordPress website on Google Cloud Platform. We use the one-click-deploy pre-configured virtual machine found on Google Cloud marketplace. We also use a custom domain name from Name Cheap.
We use Google Cloud Network Services to setup a load balancer that fronts that traffic over HTTPS and uses SSL termination and proxies the traffic to the backend instance group. This load balancer will utilize Google Managed SSL certificate which is the easiest way to use SSL on GCP. For this load balancer we must also setup a health check route.
Next we use cloud DNS to setup a DNS zone to point incoming traffic from our domain to our load balancer. We then go into NameCheap (our domain registrar) and supply the given name server addresses to point our domain traffic to our GCP instance.
Flush Local DNS
Windows
ipconfig /flushdns
Mac
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
*Remember to set TTL to 1 second, use incognito window and flush DNS when testing your website! DNS propagation can take time to process otherwise.
