# About HTTPS { #about-https }

It is easy to assume that HTTPS is something that is just "enabled" or not.

But it is way more complex than that.

If you are in a hurry or don't care, continue with the next sections for step by step instructions to set everything up with different techniques.

yamlRestTest's and javaRestTest's are easy to identify, since they are found in a
respective source directory. However, there are some more specialized REST tests
that use custom task names. These are usually found in "qa" projects commonly
use the "integTest" task.

Keep in mind that as chats allow more "free conversation", it's easy to ask questions that are too general and more difficult to answer, so, you might not receive answers.

Your server(s) is (are) a **resource**, you can consume or **utilize**, with your programs, the computation time on the CPUs, and the RAM memory available.

How much of the system resources do you want to be consuming/utilizing? It might be easy to think "not much", but in reality, you will probably want to consume **as much as possible without crashing**.
