ssl secure when i add HTTP(S) on azure?

i am quite new to ssl... and now i want to create a ssl on a website on the cloud service like azure. However if we going with normal way like upload our own certificate to azure, it will be a secure channel. However i realized even i dont upload my own certificate, when i key in extra S on the http, it can become a secure channel too.

the following is my url

http://cardmm.azurewebsites.net/

however i didnt upload anything and just key in s to become https

https://cardmm.azurewebsites.net/

it become secure channel.enter image description here

i want to ask, does this ssl will be secure? if secure, why people want to upload their own certificate.

i want to ask, does this ssl will be secure?

Yes, it is secure. The key thing to understand is the SSL certificate is issued to *.azurewebsites.net domain and it is available to you for free as long as you are accessing your site via yoursite.azurewebsites.net. If you click on lock icon in the address bar, you will see the details of the certificate.

if secure, why people want to upload their own certificate.

The reason you would want to bring your own certificate is because (as I mentioned above) is that the SSL certificate is tied to *.azurewebsites.net and not your domain (e.g. yourwebsite.com). If you want users to access your website securely using your domain name, you will need to get a SSL certificate for your domain and upload it.
