Azure Kubernetes 101: Adding https

Hi,

I have a web application deployed with k8s. Right now the k8s spec has:

(1) Service - LoadBalancer with a static IP
(2) Pod - several containers incl/: web application, postgres image to persistent file storage, etc.

If I want to enable https for the web application, what are the right k8s "parts" to use.
e.g. Can I add https to the LoadBalancer Service? Do I need a different type of service? Is a pod appropriate?

Note: The application will not have high enough demand to require scaling, etc.

Any help or pointing to docs would be appreciated.

Thanks
