Upcoming Changes
-
DigitalOcean Managed Caching is being discontinued on 30 June 2025.
To replace Managed Caching, we are offering Managed Valkey, a Redis-compatible alternative with RDMA and higher throughput. All existing Managed Caching clusters automatically convert to Valkey clusters by 30 June 2025 during your upgrade window, retaining all data.
-
In April 2025, we are implementing a breaking change to the DigitalOcean API that fixes an incomplete resource authorization issue. You may need to recreate API tokens with additional scopes to retain the same functionality, depending on your use cases.

You can now set all supported third-party payment methods as your default payment method, including AliExpress, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet.

Reserved IPv6 addresses are now in general availability. Reserved IPv6 addresses are publicly-accessible static IPv6 addresses that you can assign to Droplets and instantly remap to other Droplets in the same datacenter. See How to Create Reserved IPs to get started.
-
Partner Network Connect now supports high availability partner attachments which use redundant connections to your network as a service (NaaS) provider to enable automatic traffic failover whenever the primary connection fails.

-
We have enabled VPC-native cluster networking by default when you create new clusters using Kubernetes version 1.33 or higher using the `doctl`` command line interface or API. For more information, see Create a Cluster with VPC-native Networking.
-
Load balancer services now default to network load balancers (NLB) instead of regional load balancers on clusters running on Kubernetes version 1.33 or higher. Use the
service.beta.kubernetes.io/do-loadbalancer-type
annotation with a value ofREGIONAL
orREGIONAL_NETWORK
to change the load balancer type. -
We have enabled the Gateway API by default on clusters with VPC-native networking running on Kubernetes version 1.33 or higher. This feature is in public preview. You can use the Gateway API to manage ingress natively in a Kubernetes cluster, without the need for third-party ingress controllers.
