SSL Bundles

An SSL bundle typically refers to a collection of certificates.

The main difference is that an SSL certificate is the singular certificate for a domain, while an SSL bundle contains multiple certificates necessary for complete validation and trust establishment.

The bundle can include the SSL certificate, intermediate certificates and a root certificate creating a trust chain to the server. Thus, An SSL Bundle encapsulates all the trust material and configuration settings, such as keystores, certificates, and private keys, into a single, easily manageable unit.
