Linux Images for Droplets

Validated on 5 Jun 2025 • Last edited on 6 Jun 2025

DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.

We offer a variety of Linux images you can use to deploy Droplets. You can select these images when you create a Droplet from the control panel or use the image IDs or slugs in API requests and CLI commands to create Droplets.
