In order to use SSL certificates in GCP you need to have a Load Balancer created. This document explains it from the other point of view, how to add a Cloud Storage bucket when you already have a Load Balancer created, but the idea is the same.

Steps to take:

  1. Create a HTTPs Load Balancer in Google Cloud Platform
  2. Configure Backend to point to your Cloud Storage bucket
  3. Configure Frontend to use your SSL certificate

It is a best practice to separate a dynamic part of the website (by using a backend to point to an instance group - that will go to GCE instance) and a static part (choosing a backend to be Cloud Storage). This way you are insuring the speed and availability of the website.

You should also consider a CDN to cache a load balanced content close to your users.
