AWS offers several ways to use SSL certificates. Choose the method that matches your setup:
- ACM (Recommended): Use AWS Certificate Manager to provision free certificates for ALB, CloudFront, or API Gateway — no manual installation needed.
- EC2 (Nginx/Apache): Upload certificate files to your instance and configure your web server as shown in the Nginx/Apache tabs.
- Elastic Beanstalk: Upload the certificate via the console under Configuration → Load Balancer → HTTPS.
On Google Cloud, certificate installation depends on the service:
- GCE/Compute Engine: Configure Nginx/Apache on your VM (see respective tabs).
- Cloud Load Balancing: Go to Network Services → Load Balancing → Certificates and upload your cert and key.
- App Engine / Cloud Run: Use Google-managed certificates or supply your own via the console.
On DigitalOcean, you can install certificates in multiple ways:
- Droplets: SSH into your droplet and configure Nginx or Apache as shown in the other tabs.
- Load Balancers: In your Load Balancer settings, choose Certificates → Add Certificate and paste your cert, key, and chain.
- App Platform: Custom domain SSL is automatically managed by DigitalOcean when you attach a domain.
