Manage IP routes on Kubernetes worker nodes using the routing agent
DOKS uses a node readiness controller to gate pod scheduling until all required node components, including GPU drivers, are healthy.
Customize CoreDNS settings to change system configuration and provide specific options for domains.
Enable the peer-to-peer OCI registry plugin to reduce container image pull traffic across a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster.
Upgrade clusters to newer patch versions or newer minor versions using the control panel or command-line interface.
Automatically replace unhealthy DOKS worker nodes based on Kubernetes node conditions and rules you define with the Data Plane Operator.
Configure single sign-on (SSO) so team members can authenticate to your DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters using your identity provider and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
Fine-tune access to Kubernetes clusters using custom team roles.
