Build your application the way you want with our suite of compute products including VMs, managed containers, PaaS, and serverless 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 fully managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that deploys applications from Git repositories or container images. It automatically builds, deploys, and scales components while handling all underlying infrastructure.

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.

Latest Updates

Upcoming Changes

App Platform’s XL build resources (8 CPUs and 20 GiB of memory during builds) are now enabled for all apps by default. The xl-build flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Remove xl-build from your app spec to avoid potential errors once the flag is fully retired.

27 February 2026

The routing agent now supports anchor gateway routing, allowing you to use an anchor IP as the source address for outbound traffic from your DOKS cluster.

23 February 2026

A Fedora 43 (fedora-43-x64) Droplet base image is now available in the Control Panel and through the API.
An updated AMD AI/ML Ready (gpu-amd-base) Droplet base image is now available in the Control Panel and through the API. The image includes ROCm 7.0.2 (upgraded from 6.4.3), providing the latest AMD GPU support for AI/ML workloads.

New MI300X Droplets may encounter firmware incompatibilities with this image. If you experience issues, contact support. We can provide a temporary snapshot to help you proceed. For new MI300X deployments, consider snapshotting an existing AMD GPU Droplet created before 13 February 2026 as a fallback.

18 February 2026

AMD Instinct MI350X GPUs are now available in ATL1 by contract only in 1- and 8-GPU configurations for single- and multi-node GPU Droplets. To create GPU Droplets with MI350X GPUs, contact sales. Learn more about GPU Droplet plans.
