When you create or configure an HTTPS listener for a guaranteed-performance server load balancer (SLB) instance, you can select from a variety of TLS security policies.

When you create or configure an HTTPS listener, you can modify the advanced settings in the SSL Certificates step and select a TLS security policy. For more information, see Add an HTTPS listener.Configure the listener

A TLS security policy contains available TLS protocols and supported cipher suites.
