Latest Updates

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.

18 June 2025

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

17 June 2025

16 June 2025

  • 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 of REGIONAL or REGIONAL_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.
