Release Note

DigitalOcean Managed Databases now provide support for private networking. All new database clusters will be provisioned with private networking enabled. Existing clusters will require an update to connect over the private network. This can be triggered in the control panel.

Databases, read-only replicas, and connection pools will now contain a new private_connection object holding the information needed to access the resource via the private network. Its attributes are identical to the existing connection object, but the values for private_connection.uri and private_connection.host will contain FQDNs only accessible from resources (e.g. Droplets or Kubernetes clusters) within your account and in the same region.

For more information, see the full managed databases API documentation.
