When creating a new Kubernetes cluster, you can add a free database operator (now in beta), which allows you to automatically link new databases to your cluster. For more details, see our guide.
Redis 7.0 is now available when creating new databases. You can no longer create Redis 6.0 clusters. On 5 November 2022, we will officially no longer support 6.0 and will automatically upgrade all existing clusters to 7.0, with no expected downtime or interruptions.
In order 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
.
You can now configure your MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis Managed Databases by making a PATCH
request to /v2/databases/{database_cluster_uuid}/config
. For example:
{
"config": {
"sql_mode": "ANSI,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,STRICT_ALL_TABLES",
"sql_require_primary_key": true
}
}
For more details, see the full reference documentation for the managed databases API.
The database online migration feature for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis database engines no longer supports migrating databases from clusters inside of DigitalOcean to other clusters inside of DigitalOcean.
Online migration is now available for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis database engines. Online migration allows you to migrate databases from external servers or cloud providers to databases in your DigitalOcean account.
Online migration for PostgreSQL and Redis databases has been released in Beta. Select users can now migrate Redis and PostgreSQL databases that reside inside and outside of DigitalOcean to existing database clusters in their DigitalOcean account. Redis migrations from AWS ElasticCache are not currently supported.
Redis 6 Managed Databases are now available. Redis 6 includes enhanced security features and client-side caching. You can no longer create Redis 5 clusters, but Redis 6 clusters are fully backwards compatible.
The DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service is now available for all customers. VPC replaces the private networking service. Existing private networks will continue to function as normal but with the enhanced security and features of the VPC service. See the description of VPC features for more information.
We began the incremental release of the DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service. It will be available for all customers soon. VPC replaces the private networking service.
