Introducing client authentication with Mutual TLS on Google Cloud Load Balancing
We are excited to announce the Preview of front-end mutual TLS (mTLS) support, allowing you to offload client certificate authentication using External HTTPS Load Balancing. With TLS offload the load balancer presents a certificate on behalf of the server that the client uses to verify the server’s identity.
