DigitalOcean Kubernetes

DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) is a managed Kubernetes service. Deploy Kubernetes clusters with a fully managed control plane, high availability, autoscaling, and native integration with DigitalOcean Load Balancers and volumes. You can add node pools using shared and dedicated CPUs, and NVIDIA H100 GPUs in a single GPU or 8 GPU configuration. DOKS clusters are compatible with standard Kubernetes toolchains and the DigitalOcean API and CLI.

Latest Updates

29 October 2024

• Forwarding cluster event logs from your DOKS cluster to your DigitalOcean Managed OpenSearch cluster is now in general availability. You can forward logs using the control panel or the API.

15 October 2024

• You can now create internal-only regional load balancers. Internal load balancers have no public IP address and are only accessible by resources in the same VPC. This feature is currently in early availability and only available through the CLI and API.

• VPC-native networking is now available in early availability for all DigitalOcean Managed Kubernetes (DOKS) customers. VPC-native networking allows customers to route traffic directly between DOKS pods, services, and other resources on VPC networks. For more information, see the DOKS Features page.
