Features to accelerate releases
Full Kubernetes API
When you provision a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster, we spin up a kubernetes control plane and provide an endpoint to use with the kubectl CLI or any Kubernetes ecosystem tool.
Kubernetes in minutes
Choose the types of worker nodes you’d like, the data center where you’d like to run, and provision your own cluster in minutes. Download your kubeconfig file to start using through the kubectl command-line.
Managed Service
DigitalOcean continuously monitors your Kubernetes Control Plane to make sure you are always able to access and deploy to your cluster.
Open API
Seamlessly integrates with your existing tooling and workflows. The DigitalOcean API makes it easy to create, update and manage your cluster through our API.
Guided Configuration
We'll walk you through the steps to easily connect to your cluster, deploy an application, and add additional resources like storage and load balancers.
Certified Kubernetes
DigitalOcean is a gold sponsor of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), of which Kubernetes is a Graduated Project. DigitalOcean Kubernetes is certified as part of the CNCF Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program.
Alex Ellis
OpenFaaS Founder (Nov 2018)
DigitalOcean Kubernetes includes a master server instance for free.
Pricing for Kubernetes workloads is based on actual usage by the applications you deploy to your cluster. This includes Droplets, and may include persistent Block Storage, and Load Balancers.

SHARED CPU
Burstable performance from $5/mo
Standard
The most basic Droplet – a burstable portion of vCPU – along with a configurable amount of memory.
DESIGNED FOR
Simple or bursty applications such as low traffic web servers, blogs, discussion forums, CMS, small databases, dev/test servers, microservices, and repository hosting.
DEDICATED CPU
Consistent, fast performance from $40/mo
General Purpose
The most popular modern Droplet, with 100% dedicated vCPU, along with a balanced 4GB of memory for each vCPU.
DESIGNED FOR
Critical applications such as high-traffic web servers, e-commerce sites, medium-sized databases, and enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS).
CPU-Optimized
The CPU-centric Droplet, with 100% dedicated vCPU, along with a more modest 2GB of memory for each vCPU.
DESIGNED FOR
CPU-intensive applications like CI/CD, video encoding, machine learning, ad serving, batch processing, and active front-end web servers.
Memory-Optimized
The maximum memory Droplet, with 100% dedicated vCPU, along with a generous 8GB of memory for each vCPU..
DESIGNED FOR
RAM-intensive applications like high-performance databases, web scale in-memory caches, and real-time big data processing.

Industry-leading price-performance
Cloud Spectator, an independent benchmarking firm, found that DigitalOcean delivered the best CPU performance per dollar, when compared with AWS and Google. And thanks to DigitalOcean’s straightforward pricing, it’s easy to predict your monthly bill.
PRICE PERFORMANCE
Our tools make it simple to collaborate, secure, monitor, and backup your Droplets.
Backups
Affordable and easy-to-use automated backups built into the Droplet interface. Enabling this service on your Droplet can provide automatic, system-level backups at regular intervals, allowing you to easily revert or spin up new instances off of the created images. Pricing for backups is 20% of the cost of the virtual machine.
Snapshots
A snapshot could be taken prior to making any drastic changes to a server configuration, so that, should the changes be unsuccessful, you will have a version to revert back to. Pricing for snapshots is $0.05 per gigabyte per month.
Run your app on VMs that are precisely tuned for your use case.
We grow as fast as you do.
Is your application expanding? Easily attach more storage and create highly
available environments to meet your customers' demands.
Block Storage
Add more storage space to your Droplet or mix-and-match compute and storage to suit your application's needs — add $0.10 per gigabyte per month.
Spaces
Securely store and deliver any amount of data. Instantaneously create a cost-effective, scalable storage space using our drag-and-drop UI or API.
Load Balancers
Load Balancers are a highly available, fully-managed service that works right out of the box and can be deployed as fast as a Droplet. Load Balancers distribute incoming traffic across your infrastructure to increase your application's availability.
Floating IPs
Single points of failure can be the downfall of any application. With Floating IPs, customers can associate an IP address with a different Droplet, with minimal downtime. This makes it possible to set up a standby Droplet, ready to receive your production traffic at a moment's notice.
Elegant API
Our API enables you to deploy and manage thousands of Droplets and resources in a simple, programmatic way. Manage your Droplets with greater flexibility using conventional HTTP requests. Take any number of actions or requests—including creating multiple Droplets, resizing, rebooting, enabling backups, and more—with curl commands or the official API wrappers. Includes OAuth support.
Network features and additional specs
99.99% uptime SLA
We provide a 99.99% uptime SLA. If we fail to deliver, we’ll credit you for the amount of time that service was unavailable.
DNS
Create a DNS record by entering your domain name and selecting a Droplet. Full DNS management allows you to easily control every aspect of your domain’s DNS settings.
Global data centers
Data centers located around the world mean you have the connectivity and redundancy you need to stay up and running.
40GbE
Best-in-class network connectivity for speed and throughput.
IPv6
Locate your Droplet in the cloud with the most up-to-date version of the Internet Protocol.
Private networking
Enables Droplets to “talk” within the same data center. Traffic sent between Droplets across the private network will not count toward your bandwidth costs.
Snapshot transfer
Transfer the ownership of a snapshot to any DigitalOcean user.
User data
Add customized scripts to automate package installation during initial setup.
Cluster deployment
Deploy multiple Droplets with a few clicks within our control panel or from the command line via our API.
