Spaces Release Notes

July 2023

July 26

  • We have reenabled the creation of new resources in SFO2 for all customers.

July 7

March 2023

March 1

  • Spaces now automatically delete any incomplete multipart uploads older than 90 days to prevent billing and to free up storage.

February 2023

February 2

  • Newer Spaces buckets now have an improved limit of 800 total operations per second. To check whether a bucket has this new limit, see our Spaces rate limits.

October 2022

October 28

  • All Spaces rate limits have increased to double their previous amount. For a list of the current rate limits, see our Limits page.

July 2022

July 14

  • Spaces and the Spaces CDN now support HTTP/2 clients. HTTP/2-conformant clients now receive HTTP/2 responses, while others receive HTTP/1.1 responses. In certain cases, such as when an HTTP/2 request has a formatting error, it may downgrade to HTTP/1.1 for operational reasons, as permitted by the HTTP/2 specification.

June 27

  • 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.

June 8

May 2022

May 13

  • Spaces no longer supports downgrading TLS connections to TLS 1.1 or using cipher suites with SHA1 or DHE. Spaces currently returns soft S3 error messages and will gradually transition to hard TLS errors over a 4-6 week period.

March 2022

March 28

  • Spaces no longer supports downgrading TLS connections to TLS 1.0, and will transition from returning soft S3 error messages to hard TLS errors over the next month.

January 2022

January 19

  • Managed Let’s Encrypt certificates will begin using Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) instead of RSA. ECDSA is equally secure and more computationally efficient than RSA. ECDSA certificates follow the shorter root chain and aren’t rooted using the DST Root CA X3 cross-sign which expired on 30 September 2021.

    As we roll out this change, new Let’s Encrypt certificates provisioned for DigitalOcean Load Balancers and Spaces will increasingly use ECDSA and existing certificiates secured with RSA will be secured with ECDSA upon auto-renewal. This change doesn’t require any action from DigitalOcean customers.

October 2021

October 27

  • We have deprecated TLS DHE ciphers for all load balancers.

September 2021

  • With the completion of the SGP1 capacity augmentation, we have re-enabled the creation of new Spaces in SGP1.

February 2021

February 1

  • Spaces are now available in SFO3.

January 2021

January 31

  • 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.

September 2020

September 30

  • We have updated capacity in FRA1 and have resumed the creation of Spaces in that region.

September 25

  • We have temporarily disabled the creation of new Spaces in SGP1 while we update capacity in this region.

July 2020

July 22

  • We have reenabled the creation of Spaces in NYC3 now that the datacenter’s capacity upgrade is complete. The ability to create new Spaces in FRA1 remains disabled while we finish that datacenter capacity upgrade.

March 2020

March 19

March 11

  • We have finished expanding the AMS3 datacenter to address capacity and load issues with Spaces in that region. As a result, we have reenabled the creation of new Spaces in AMS3. The allowance and rate limits on uploads to Spaces in AMS3 will stay in place to ensure high performance.

  • Spaces will send billing data for active users within 2 hours of usage, down from a 4-5 day processing time. Previously, some users who were not billed for overages because of the processing delay may see their bill go up based on their actual usage.

April 2018

April 17

  • Spaces users no longer need to cancel their Spaces subscription via the Spaces UI when they want to stop using Spaces. Now, any time a Spaces user destroys their last Space, their pro-rated $5/month billing (if not in the free trial period) stops. Overage charges still apply if they were incurred before deletion of the last Space.

February 2018

February 15

  • Resolved an issue where some Spaces customers were being rate limited even though they were well below the rate limiting threshold.

February 12
