Explanation

Google Cloud Armor security policies are attached to backend services and are supported by external HTTP(S) Load Balancers (now called Global External Application Load Balancers). Cloud Armor provides WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules, DDoS protection, and IP allow/deny lists at the HTTP(S) layer. SSL Proxy load balancers operate at Layer 4 (TCP) and do not support Cloud Armor policy attachment. This makes sense architecturally because Cloud Armor inspects HTTP request attributes (URLs, headers, query parameters) which are only visible at the Layer 7 HTTP(S) load balancing layer.
