How do I create an Organization Validated (OV) or Extended Validated (EV) SSL certificates on Google Cloud Platform

Google Cloud does not sell OV or EV certificates. If you require a validated certificate, you must purchase one from a certificate authority such as Comodo. You are then responsible for installing, rotating, renewing, monitoring, etc.

Google Cloud does provide managed SSL certificates. These certificates are Domain Validated (DV) only. These certificates are managed but Google and are automatically renewed. SSL expiration reporting is still your responsibility.

Self-managed and Google-managed SSL certificates

Auto-rotate the certificate?

Google Cloud does not provide tools to auto-rotate self-installed SSL certificates. Some certificate authorities provide management tools. Factor that into your vendor selection.

Get a notification before the certificate expires?

Google Cloud does not offer an SSL certificate monitoring service. There are a number of third parties that do. Writing your own SSL monitor is also easy to do.
