Compute

Our suite of compute products lets you create the infrastructure you want, whether you want to build applications by managing your own infrastructure with Droplets, implement modern container-based methodology with Kubernetes, use a fully-managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment with App Platform, or go serverless with DigitalOcean Functions.

Droplets

DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs). Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use. Choose from a variety of Droplet plans to get right resources (like CPU, RAM, and storage) for your workload.

DigitalOcean Kubernetes

DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that lets you deploy Kubernetes clusters without the complexities of handling the control plane and containerized infrastructure. Clusters are compatible with standard Kubernetes toolchains and integrate natively with DigitalOcean Load Balancers and volumes.

App Platform

App Platform is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering that lets you publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, runtimes, or dependencies.

Functions

DigitalOcean Functions is a function as a service (FaaS) offering that lets you run your local serverless code in the cloud using Node.js, Python, Go, or PHP without managing any backend infrastructure.

Cloudways

Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform where teams can build, deploy, and scale web applications.

Paperspace

Paperspace is a cloud-based machine learning platform that offers GPU-powered virtual machines and a Kubernetes-based container service.

Latest Updates

27 June 2024

• Control plane firewalls are now available in Early Availability for select DOKS customers. For more information, see How to Add a Control Plane Firewall.

• Fedora 40 (fedora-40-x64) base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.

24 June 2024

• DigitalOcean Load Balancers added to DOKS clusters now default to Kubernetes’ recommended health check configuration which facilitates worker node replacements with minimal request disruption. The new configuration automatically updates for all existing managed load balancers on DOKS 1.26 and later.

  We do not recommend configuring health checks manually. You can continue the previous behavior by setting the service.beta.kubernetes.io/do-loadbalancer-override-health-check annotation as described here.

20 June 2024

• You can now forward logs from your App Platform app to your DigitalOcean Managed OpenSearch Cluster.
