Containers and Images
DigitalOcean provides a variety of images that you can use to create Droplets and Kubernetes clusters, like Linux and FreeBSD distributions, container distributions, 1-Click Applications, and a container image registry.
In addition, you can take snapshots for on-demand disk images of Droplets and volumes, enable backups for automatic weekly Droplet images, and upload custom images to create Droplets with other operating systems or pre-packaged libraries. You can manage the images you create or upload to your account in the Images section of the control panel.

The Fedora 35 distribution has reached end of life and is deprecated as of 6 January 2023:
The image will be removed from the control panel starting on 6 January 2023 but will remain accessible for Droplet creation via the API for 30 days after the initial deprecation. If you need to use Fedora 35 after the image has been fully deprecated, you can create Droplets from a snapshot of a Droplet with that version or from a custom image.
