Latest Updates

30 June 2026

• Private Droplets are now generally available in all regions. Private Droplets have no public network interface and no public IP address, using VPC-only networking with automatic integration with VPC NAT gateway, VPC peering, and VPC private DNS. See the Private Droplets documentation for setup instructions and limitations.

24 June 2026

• A Fedora 44 (fedora-44-x64) Droplet base image is now available in the Control Panel and through the API.

17 June 2026

• Updated CentOS Stream 9 and CentOS Stream 10 (centos-stream-9-x64, centos-stream-10-x64) Droplet base images require a minimum Droplet size of s-1vcpu-1gb. You cannot create Droplets with these images on the s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb plan because the image exceeds the available disk size for that plan. For more information, see Linux Images for Droplets.

For more information, see all Droplets release notes.
