# Certificate Map

Certificate Map in Google Cloud is a resource used to organize and manage SSL/TLS certificates for load balancers. It allows you to define rules that map incoming requests to the appropriate certificate based on hostnames or other criteria. This helps simplify certificate management at scale, especially when serving multiple domains or subdomains through the same load balancer.
