We have updated our product lifecycle stages to private preview, public preview, and general availability. The new stages are consolidated and slightly modified versions of our original stages, which were beta, early access, and general availability.
We have reenabled the NYC2 datacenter. See the regional availability page for information on product availability in NYC2.
We’ve released feature preview, a way to opt into beta offerings from DigitalOcean.
Our DDoS Protection service is now available and active for all DigitalOcean customers at no additional cost.
DDoS Protection covers Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, managed databases, load balancers, and assigned reserved IPs.
We have reenabled the creation of new resources in SFO2 for all customers.
We have launched the Sydney, Australia (syd1) datacenter region, which supports most Droplet types, managed databases, and other products. Learn more in the regional availability matrix.
To improve security, DigitalOcean no longer accepts TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 connections. This includes connections to www.digitalocean.com, cloud.digitalocean.com, and api.digitalocean.com.
Due to capacity limits in the region, we have disabled the creation of new resources in SFO2 for new customers. Existing customers with resources in SFO2 are unaffected and can still create and destroy resources in SFO2.
The SFO3 datacenter region is now available.
We have renamed the Limited Availability (LA) product lifecycle stage to Early Availability (EA) to better represent the status of products in that stage. Products in Early Availability are fully functional but not yet production-ready, and may be enabled only for specific user groups as part of an incremental roll-out strategy.
We have made several improvements for seeking support, including a new support starting page that allows you to search DigitalOcean’s product documentation, Marketplace, and community tutorials from a single location.
The DigitalOcean feature request portal has been migrated to https://ideas.digitalocean.com.
Released new documentation site for the DigitalOcean Control Panel with updated content and product-specific navigation and search to help readers more readily learn how to use DigitalOcean.
