Compute

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 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.

Latest Updates

• Network load balancers are now in general availability. Network load balancers are regional load balancers that route traffic at the TCP/UDP transport level. Read How to Create Regional Load Balancers to get started.

• NVIDIA L40S GPUs are now available for creating new clusters or adding node pools to existing clusters using the control panel and the API with the gpu-l40sx1-48gb slug.

• NVIDIA L40S GPUs are now available for GPU Droplets via the control panel and via the API using the slug gpu-l40sx1-48gb. Learn more about GPU Droplet plans.

24 March 2025

• The DOKS Cluster Autoscaler can now scale nodes in a node pool down to zero. This feature is in private preview. See Scaling to Zero for recommendations to follow for scaling down to zero.

• You can now view the most recent reconciler checks in the DigitalOcean Control Panel. For more information, see Best Practices.
