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

30 May 2024

• We have released an updated Ubuntu 24.04 image that fixes a problem with journald. If you created a Ubuntu 24.04 Droplets on or before 30 May 2024, you can run sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald once as a workaround for the patch.

23 May 2024

• OpenSearch log forwarding is now in public beta. This lets you forward runtime logs from your App Platform apps to an OpenSearch cluster, where you can analyze and query your app’s logs using OpenSearch’s APIs and dashboards.

7 May 2024

• We have released a new catalog of pricing plans for App Platform. The new plans offer lower pricing on instances with dedicated CPUs and better egress bandwidth allowance. All previous plans will eventually be deprecated. We strongly recommend you use the new plans when creating or upgrading apps.
