Released v1.40.0 of doctl, the official DigitalOcean CLI. This release includes a support for VPCs and viewing billing history for an account.
Starting today, we have begun the incremental release of DigitalOcean VPC, including its API. VPCs (virtual private clouds) allow you to create virtual networks containing resources that can communicate with each other in full isolation using private IP addresses. The VPC service will be available for all customers soon. It replaces the existing private networking service.
When enabled on your account, you will be able to create, configure, list, and delete custom VPCs as well as retrieve information about the resources assigned to them. For example, to create a new VPC, make a POST to the /v2/vpcs endpoint with a JSON body like:
{
"name": "staging-vpc",
"description": "VPC for the staging environment"
"region": "nyc1"
}
For the more details, see the full API reference documentation for DigitalOcean VPCs.
This release contains related functionality for a number of other DigitalOcean resources.
When VPC is enabled on your account, the private_networking attribute previously used to enable private networking while creating a Droplet will now provision the Droplet inside of your account’s default VPC for the region. Use the new vpc_uuid attribute to specify a different VPC.
Kubernetes clusters, load balancers, and database clusters will also be provisioned inside of your account’s default VPC for the region when enabled. To specify a non-default VPC, set the appropriate attribute in the JSON body of the create request:
| Resource | Attribute |
|---|---|
| Droplet | vpc_uuid |
| Kubernetes cluster | vpc_uuid |
| Load balancer | vpc_uuid |
| Database cluster | private_networking_uuid |
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.

Updated the Droplet-based Marketplace WordPress 1-Click App to now use PHP 7.4 and MySQL server 8.0.19.
The sign-in experience has been redesigned to help streamline two-factor authentication workflows and enable special announcements.
Users who create a 1-Click App can now access the instructions for their app by clicking the Get Started link next to their Droplet on the project homepage.
You can now only rebuild Droplets from images that use an OS that resides in the same OS family as the Droplet being rebuilt. For example, a Droplet running Ubuntu 16 can be rebuilt from an image running Ubuntu 18, but it cannot be built from an image running Debian.
Users can now upload custom images using FTP URLs.
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.
Learn more on Restrictions on Spaces in AMS3 Applied Until Datacenter Expansion Planned for Early 2020.
The Debian 10.3 and 9.12 base images are now available in the control panel and via the API.
Users can now destroy select resources associated with a Droplet when destroying a Droplet.
The DigitalOcean Managed Databases API now supports configuring the user
authentication plug-in for both new and existing MySQL users. This is useful
when needing to connect to a MySQL 8.0 cluster using an application or older
MySQL client that does not support the default caching_sha2_password
authentication plug-in.
For example, to create a new MySQL user
using the mysql_native_password authentication plug-in, send a POST request
to /v2/databases/$DATABASE_ID/users with a JSON body like:
{
"name": "php-app-01",
"mysql_settings": {
"auth_plugin": "mysql_native_password"
}
}
For more details, see the full reference documentation for the managed databases API.
Users can now set legacy MySQL 5x password encryption for MySQL 8+ managed databases from the control panel and API.
Tax collection for Iceland has begun. Charges will appear on the April invoice.
We began the incremental release of a feature that allows users to destroy select resources associated with a Droplet when they destroy the Droplet.
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.
To provide a better service for all customers we are introducing burst request rate limits to our public API. Now clients will be rate limited if they consume more than 5% of their total requests for an hour over a 1 minute period (going over 250 requests in a minute). This only affects clients making their requests in large bursts, clients that spread their requests over time will not be affected. Check the rate limits documentation for more information about it.
v1.14.0 of the DigitalOcean Terraform Provider is now available. This release includes a bug fix for projects containing many resources and exposes the Droplet IDs for individual nodes in Kubernetes clusters.
Released v1.38.0 of doctl, the official DigitalOcean CLI. This release adds the ability to set Kubernetes node pool labels as well as support for deleting multiple Kubernetes clusters with a single command.
Our managed DigitalOcean Kubernetes product DOKS now supports setting Kubernetes labels on node pools. Once assigned, they will propagate to the associated pool nodes, both existing and new ones. This way, customers may reliably reference groups of nodes through label selectors that Kubernetes provides.
Labels can be set on node pool API objects that are accessible on multiple endpoints. For instance, updating an existing node pool by the labels service=web and priority=high is done by submitting a PUT request to the /v2/kubernetes/clusters/<cluster ID>/node_pools/<node ID> endpoint with the following JSON body:
{
"name": "web",
"count": 10,
"labels": {
"service": "web",
"priority": "high"
}
}
For details, see the available operations on the Kubernetes API.
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.
Ubuntu 19.04, FreeBSD 12.0, Fedora 28, Fedora 28 Atomic, and Fedora 29 have reached end of life. Per our image deprecation policy, these images are available exclusively via the API for the next 30 days before we remove them from our platform.

Our API has been extended with a new endpoint enabling you to retrieve balance
information for an account. To do so, make a GET request to /v2/customers/my/balance.
The response will be a JSON body including your balance details. For example:
{
"month_to_date_balance": "23.44",
"account_balance": "12.23",
"month_to_date_usage": "11.21",
"generated_at": "2019-07-09T15:01:12Z"
}
For all the details, see the balance endpoint in the full API reference documentation.
Released v1.12.0 of the DigitalOcean Terraform Provider. This release contains improvements to Managed Database support including a new resource for configuring trusted sources and the ability to set the global SQL mode or Redis eviction policy on a cluster.

Users can now specify the payment method and amount when making payments on the billing page.
The Fedora 31 base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.
Bandwidth billing for managed databases, originally slated to begin in January 2020, has been postponed to 2021. Egress bandwidth for managed databases clusters will continue to be waived until then.
The Debian 10.2 base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.
Our referral program offer has changed from $50 for 30 days to $100 for 60 days. This change applies only to new referrals. Existing users with referral credits will retain their current balance and credit expiration dates.
The FreeBSD 12.1 (ufs & zfs) base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.
The DigitalOcean API currently offers the ability to retrieve a report of all
Droplets co-located on the same physical hardware by sending a GET request to
the /v2/reports/droplet_neighbors endpoint. This endpoint has been deprecated
and will begin responding with an HTTP status of 410 (Gone) on December 17th, 2019.
Today, in its place, a new endpoint is now available: /v2/reports/droplet_neighbors_ids.
Rather than listing the full Droplet object, responses from this endpoint only
contain sets of Droplet IDs co-located on the same physical hardware. For example:
{
"neighbor_ids": [
[168671828,168663509,168671815],
[168671883,168671750]
]
}
This implementation is more performant and better able to scale for users with many Droplets. For all the information, find the full API reference documentation here.
The API also continues to offer the ability to list “neighbors” for a specific
Droplet by sending a GET request to /v2/droplets/$DROPLET_ID/neighbors. This
endpoint will continue to function without change.
We apologize for the inconvenience. If you need guidance on this transition, reach out to the team by opening a support ticket.
Tax collection for Belarus has begun. Charges will appear on the January invoice.
Users can now use the DigitalOcean API to set and modify trusted sources for managed databases to restrict incoming connections.
MySQL managed database clusters now support setting the global SQL mode via the control panel and the API. See How to Set Global SQL Mode on MySQL Clusters for more information.
DigitalOcean’s API now supports managing a database cluster’s firewall rules (known as “trusted sources” in the control panel) as well as the ability to configure the SQL mode used by MySQL clusters.
Using the /v2/databases/$DATABASE_ID/firewall endpoint, you can specify which resources should be able to open connections to your database. You may limit connections to specific Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, or external IP addresses. When a tag is provided, any Droplet or Kubernetes node with that tag applied to it will have access. For example, the body a PUT request might look like:
{
"rules": [
{"type": "ip_addr", "value": "192.168.1.1"},
{"type": "droplet", "value": "163973392"},
{"type": "k8s", "value": "ff2a6c52-5a44-4b63-b99c-0e98e7a63d61"},
{"type": "tag", "value": "backend"}
]
}
To configure the SQL modes for a MySQL cluster, use the /v2/databases/$DATABASE_ID/sql_mode endpoint. For example, the body a PUT request might look like:
{
"sql_mode": "ANSI,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE"
}
For more information, see the full API reference documentation for managed databases.

Today DigitalOcean’s Managed Database service launched support for two new database engines, MySQL and Redis. Both are currently in Limited Availability and can initially be used in the NYC1, FRA1, and SFO2 regions.
When creating a new database cluster using the API, you must specify the engine attribute to select which type of database to use (mysql for MySQL or redis for Redis). For example, to create a new Redis cluster, make a POST to the /v2/databases endpoint with a JSON body like:
{
"name": "cache-01",
"engine": "redis",
"version": "5",
"region": "nyc1",
"size": "db-s-1vcpu-2gb",

Basic and advanced monitoring insights for resource utilization and deployment status metrics.
SOA records are now returned in record results, and you can update the TTL on a SOA record as you would with other records. This allows you to control the negative caching of your domain. SOA records cannot be manually deleted or created on a domain, they are created when the domain is created, and cleaned up on the domain deletion.
Today, we are promoting the Kubernetes API to General Availability. As part of this release, we have also extended the API with additional functionality:
When creating or updating a cluster, you may now configure a maintenance window policy specifying the day of the week and time of day that updates should take place for the cluster. Additionally, setting a cluster’s auto_upgrade attribute to true will specify that the cluster can be automatically upgraded to new Kubernetes patch releases (e.g. 1.13.1 to 1.13.2) during its maintenance window.
An upgrade endpoint is now available to imminently trigger an upgrade to a newer patch release of Kubernetes at your own convenience. You may list available upgrades for your cluster using the upgrades endpoint.
In order to give users finer control over individual nodes, the recycle endpoint has been deprecated. Instead, we now offer the ability to delete or replace specific nodes in a node pool. By default, workloads will be drained from the node before deletion. Appending the skip_drain=1 query parameter to the request will cause the node to be imminently deleted. Appending the replace=1 query parameter to the request will cause the node to be replaced by a new one after it has been deleted.
For the full details, see the API reference documentation for Kubernetes.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide us with feedback.
Our referral program offer has changed from $100 for 60 days to $50 for 30 days. This change applies only to new referrals. Existing users with referral credits will retain their current balance and credit expiration dates.

This will be the default agent used by our managed databases and Kubernetes products. All agent installations on or after this date will receive the new agent by default. On 8 July 2019, the legacy metrics agent will be deprecated, meaning users will no longer be able to view metrics from Droplets running the legacy agent. You can upgrade to the new agent at any time.
Spaces, DigitalOcean’s object storage solution, includes a built-in CDN. Today we’ve added the ability to use custom subdomains with your CDN endpoints. When configuring your CDN via the API, you can now set the custom_domain attribute to use a subdomain with the endpoint. When a custom subdomain is in use, the certificate_id attribute is also required. Its value must be the ID of a DigitalOcean managed SSL certificate. For example, the body of your request to enable a CDN might look like:
{
"origin": "static-images.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com",
"certificate_id": "892071a0-bb95-49bc-8021-3afd67a210bf",

Today DigitalOcean’s Managed Database service, including its API, has entered Limited Availability. In order to access these new endpoints, you must first enable managed databases on your account by opting-in via the cloud control panel. Once enabled, you will be able to create, scale, and manage your database clusters via the API. For example, to create a new database cluster, make a POST to the /v2/databases endpoint with a JSON body like:
{
"name": "backend",
"engine": "pg",
"version": "10",
"region": "nyc3",
"size": "db-s-1vcpu-2gb",
"num_nodes": 2
}
The response will include a full JSON representation of the database cluster. The initial value of the cluster’s status attribute will be “creating.” When the cluster is ready for use, this will transition to “online.”
For the all the details, see the full API reference documentation for DigitalOcean Managed Databases.
DigitalOcean Managed Databases were released with support for PostgreSQL v10 and v11.
The third-party Helpy One-Click application was released.
The third-party Cloudron One-Click application was released.

The following updates were released for DigitalOcean Kubernetes:
Today we opened up access to the DigitalOcean Kubernetes service for all users. As part of this release, the API is now also available to all. While still in Limited Availability, you must first enable Kubernetes on your account by opting-in via the cloud control panel to access these endpoints.
Once enabled, you can list, create, or delete clusters as well as scale node pools up and down, recycle individual nodes, and retrieve the kubeconfig file for use with a cluster via the API. For example, to create a new cluster with a node pool using three s-2vcpu-2gb Droplets, make a POST to the /v2/kubernetes/clusters endpoint with a JSON body like:
{
"name": "prod-cluster-01",
"region": "nyc1",
"version": "1.12.1-do.2",
"tags": ["production"],
"node_pools": [
{
"size": "s-2vcpu-2gb",
"count": 3,
"name": "woker-pool"
}
]
}
The response includes a full JSON representation of the cluster. The initial value of the cluster’s status.state attribute is “provisioning.” When the cluster is ready for use, this transitions to “running.” You can use the /v2/kubernetes/options endpoint to find the available versions of Kubernetes as well as the supported regions and Droplet sizes.
Once ready, you can retrieve the credentials for use with the cluster by sending a GET request to /v2/kubernetes/clusters/$K8S_CLUSTER_ID/kubeconfig. The response is a kubeconfig file in YAML format. This file can be used to connect to and administer the cluster using the Kubernetes command line tool, kubectl. For more information, see “How to Connect to a DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster with kubectl.”
For the all the details, see the full API reference documentation for DigitalOcean Kubernetes.
The minimum size for a Kubernetes node was changed to the 2 GB Memory / 1 vCPU plan.

Today, we are launching a beta of our new Projects API. Projects enable you to group your resources in ways that align with the applications you host on DigitalOcean, and now you can do so via our API as well. This initial release includes the ability to:
Additionally, we’ve added beta support for Projects to our official clients (Droplet Kit, godo, and doctl).
You can create a new project by sending a POST request to the /v2/projects endpoint including a body like:
{
"name": "my-web-api",
"description": "My website API",
"purpose": "Service or API",
"environment": "Production"
}
To assign resources to a project, send a POST request to /v2/projects/$PROJECT_ID/resources including a list of those resources in the body:
{
"resources": [
"do:droplet:123456",
"do:floatingip:192.168.99.100",
"do:space:static-assets",
"do:volume:0e250b2a-8a01-11e8-96ae-0242ad114410"
]
}
Resources are identified by uniform resource names or URNs, a string consisting of the type of resource and its unique identifier. A valid URN has the following format: do:resource_type:resource_id. For the full details, see the API reference documentation for both Projects and Project Resources.
Note that as this is a beta release, we may make additional changes based on your feedback. So let us know how you’re using projects, and follow along with the API changelog for updates.

Today’s release brings Content Delivery Network (CDN) support to Spaces, DigitalOcean’s object storage solution. This can be configured and managed using our API. By sending requests to /v2/cdn/endpoints, you can list, create, or delete CDN endpoints as well as purge cached content.
To enable the CDN for your Space, send a POST request to /v2/cdn/endpoints. In the JSON body of your request, specify the origin of your content and the desired TTL. For example:
{
"origin": "static-images.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com",
"ttl": 3600
}
Currently, the origin must be a DigitalOcean Space.
To purge cached content from a CDN endpoint, send a DELETE request to /v2/cdn/endpoints/$ENDPOINT_ID/cache. The body of the request should include a files attribute containing a list of cached file paths to be purged. A path may be for a single file or may contain a wildcard (*) to recursively purge all files under a directory. When only a wildcard is provided, all cached files will be purged. For example, the body of your request might look like:
{
"files": [
"assets/img/hero.png",
"assets/css/*"
]
}
For additional details, see the API reference documentation for managing CDN endpoints.
Released the Spaces content delivery network (CDN).
Deprecated the Spaces free trial.
Released custom image support which allows customers to upload their Linux and Unix-like images to their DigitalOcean account and use them to create Droplets.
Today DigitalOcean released support for uploading custom images, enabling you to create Droplets based on your own Linux virtual machine images. Our image management API has been extended with support as well. By sending a POST to the /v2/images endpoint, you can create a new custom image. The request must contain a url attribute pointing to where the image can be downloaded. The image itself may be in the raw, qcow2, vhdx, vdi, or vmdk format. It can be compressed using gzip or bzip2 but must be smaller that 100 GB after being decompressed. For example, the body of you request might look like:
{
"name": "ubuntu-18.04-minimal",
"url": "http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img",
"distribution": "Ubuntu",
"region": "nyc3",
"description": "Cloud-optimized image w/ small footprint",
"tags": [
"base-image",
"prod"
]
}
To make organizing your images easier, we’ve also extended tagging support to custom images as well as Droplet snapshots. For additional details, see the API reference documentation for creating custom images and tagging resources.
Removed deprecated Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence and MEAN One-Clicks from the control panel.
New One-Click Application Droplets that you create with the control panel will be based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. For the next 60 days (through November 12, 2018 11:59pm EST), Ubuntu 16.04 LTS-based One-Clicks will continue to be available alongside the 18.04 version through the API.
Removed the list of environments (Production, Staging, Development) from the list of project purposes when creating projects. Added them as a separate dropdown on the Project Settings page.
Fixed a bug where a project containing only domains displayed an empty state that required users to scroll to access their domains.
Fixed a bug where domains with capital letters were not displaying the project on the Domain page.
Began incremental release of invoice aggregation for users with more than 3000 invoice line items.
Spaces are now available in SFO2.
Ubuntu 18.04 is now the default image when creating new Droplets from the control panel.
When listing or getting tags by sending a GET request to /v2/tags or /v2/tags/$TAG_NAME, the response payload currently includes a last_tagged value inside the tag’s resources.droplets containing a full representation of the resource. This payload is considerably nested and adds additional overhead to the request. In order to improve performance as well as lay the groundwork for bring tagging support to additional resources, this attribute is being deprecated. Beginning March 1st, 2019 last_tagged will no longer be populated in favor of the new last_tagged_uri attribute introduced today.
For all resources (and each resource type supported), the last_tagged_uri attribute contains a string indicating the URI which can be used to retrieve details about that specific resource. If you need information about the last tagged resource specifically, issuing another call to that URI will provide you with all the data for that resource.
Additionally, a count attribute describing how many resources overall have been tagged with the tag in question has been added. Each individual resource type will continue providing a count attribute.
If you need guidance on transitioning from using last_tagged to using of the new last_tagged_uri attribute, reach out to the team by opening a support ticket.
Customers with multiple credit cards on file can now choose which one is billed by default on the billing page.

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.
New Domain resources can now be created via the DigitalOcean v2 API without providing an IP address. The previous behavior, which would automatically create an A record pointing to the apex domain, will be retained for backwards-compatibility when an IP address is provided.
This example demonstrates how to create a new domain without providing an IP address:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN" \
-d '{"name":"example.com"}' \
"https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains"
For more information, see the full Domains API documentation.

Expanded Droplet View allows customers using the Dashboard to click on a Droplet and quickly view additional information about the Droplet without having to go to the Droplet Page. It also updates the list of Droplets to display at a glance whether Backups are on/off and if a Floating IP is attached.
Released new Droplet feature to allow customers to boot Droplets from a Recovery ISO. Learn more in How To Recover from File System Corruption Using Fsck and a Recovery ISO.
The /v2/volumes endpoint has been updated to support automatically formatting the filesystem of newly created volumes. Volume resources now expose two new attributes: filesystem_type and filesystem_label. They can be used to specify the filesystem and the label to be applied. Currently, the available filesystem types are ext4 and xfs.
For example, here is a request creating a new volume formatted with an EXT4 filesystem:
curl -X POST \
-d '{"name":"volume-nyc3-01","region":"nyc3","filesystem_type":"ext4","filesystem_label":"example","size_gigabytes": 100}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/volumes
Additionally, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Fedora Atomic, and CentOS Droplets created on or after April 26, 2018 will now automatically mount volumes with pre-formatted filesystems when attached. Attaching pre-formatted volumes to other Droplets is not recommended. When the filesystem_type attribute is not provided, volumes will continue to be presented as raw block devices and require additional configuration.
When retrieving an existing volume, filesystem_type and filesystem_label will reflect the current filesystem and label used on the volume even if these were applied manually.
For more information, see the full API documentation for Volumes.
Volumes for Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian 8+, CentOS, and Fedora Atomic can be automatically formatted and mounted when they are created.
Turned on Droplet Search in the top navigation for all users. Allows users to quickly search for Droplets by name or IP address and go directly to the Droplet Page.
Enabled users to sign up and sign in with their Google accounts. DigitalOcean users can switch their accounts back and forth between password-based and Google-based authentication.
Fixed issue with 2FA QR code generation for authenticator applications. Users with usernames over 26 characters were unable to generate a QR code. We now render up to 65 characters of a user’s entire email address and truncate if it is longer. This prevents errors for users with long email addresses, and renders more information in authenticator applications to help users with multiple accounts have more context.
Today, DigitalOcean released a number of Load Balancer improvements including support for using SSL/TLS certificates automatically generated by Let’s Encrypt. Our Certificate management API has been updated to support automatically generating Let’s Encrypt certificates in addition to uploading custom, user-generated certificates.
A request to generate a new SSL/TLS certificate using Let’s Encrypt would look like:
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" \
-d '{"name": "le-cert-01", "type": "lets_encrypt", "dns_names": ["www.example.com","example.com"]}' \
"https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/certificates"```
The new type attribute must be set to lets_encrypt when using Let’s Encrypt. If omitted, it will default to custom in order to maintain backwards compatibility. For additional details, see the Certificate management API reference documentation.
For more information on how to use Let’s Encrypt with DigitalOcean Load Balancers, see this tutorial on our community site.
Load Balancers v1.5 is released to general availability in all regions, including backend upgrades, Let’s Encrypt Integration, and HTTP/2 Support.
Fedora 28 is now available using the slugs fedora-28-x64 and fedora-28-x64-atomic. The images are now public to all users.

| Optimized | 7.5K | 300 MB/s |
| Optimized (Burst) | 10K | 350 MB/s |
Ubuntu 18.04 is now available through the control panel and via our API using the slug ubuntu-18-04-x64
Changes to Droplet Bandwidth Billing announced. The new billing plan goes into effect June 1. Charges for June, if any, will appear on the July 1 bill. Customers can view usage and billing information on their billing page.
Debit cards from any country can be used for payment once a temporary pre-authorization charge of $1 is successful.
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.
1vCPU-Optimized Droplet launched.
Released the MEAN One-Click application on Ubuntu 16.04, configured to install using docker-compose.
Launched the new Dashboard experience to the control panel. The Dashboard replaces the Droplets page as the new default home page of the control panel. It provides at-a-glance visibility into active resources, like Droplets, Spaces, load balancers, floating IPs, and domains, month-to-date current billing usage, shortcuts to team management, and other common tasks without having to navigate to different and often hard-to-find sections of the control panel.
We improved notifications of when credits are applied to an account.
Resolved an issue where some Spaces customers were being rate limited even though they were well below the rate limiting threshold.
Added improvements to reduce timeouts on the Spaces API.
Number of days left in your 60-day Spaces free trial is now shown on trial opt-in page and on details modal.
The Ghost one-click was updated to Ghost version 1.21.1.
We have upgraded the block storage clusters in Bangalore and London to Ceph Luminous, reducing median cluster latency by 50%.
Deletion of a Space via the control panel is disallowed if there are 100,000 or more objects in the Space. Once the Space has less than 100,000 objects within, it can be deleted by the control panel.
Spaces now support:
Spaces are now available in the Singapore (SGP1) region.
Static site hosting and custom domains for Spaces have been released in private beta. Email [email protected] to participate.
Today, we announced wide-ranging changes to our Droplet plans, bringing improved resources across the board. These new plans are now available via the API and can be referenced using their respective size slugs.
Size slugs are human-readable strings used to specify the type of Droplet in certain API requests. In the past, size slugs were typically based on the amount of RAM provided with the plan (e.g. 1gb). Moving forward, we are standardizing on a format comprised of the identifier for the Droplet’s class, the vCPU count, and the amount of RAM in order to provide more flexibility in the plans we are able to offer you. For example, our new $5 per month Standard Droplet comes with 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM. So its size slug is. s-1vcpu-1gb.
Applications and scripts with hard-coded size slugs must be updated to take advantage of these new plans. In order to provide a transition period, 1st Generation Droplet plans will continue to be available via the API using the legacy size slugs. We will provide additional notice before their removal.
The table below shows the new 2nd Generation Standard Droplet plans along with their corresponding size slug. For always up-to-date information on available plans and pricing, see our pricing page.
| Class | Slug | vCPUs | RAM | Disk | Transfer | Monthly Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | s-1vcpu-1gb | 1 | 1 GB | 25 GB | 1 TB | $5 |
| Standard | s-1vcpu-2gb | 1 | 2 GB | 50 GB | 2 TB | $10 |
| Standard | s-1vcpu-3gb | 1 | 3 GB | 60 GB | 3 TB | $15 |
| Standard | s-2vcpu-2gb | 2 | 2 GB | 60 GB | 3 TB | $15 |
| Standard | s-3vcpu-1gb | 3 | 1 GB | 60 GB | 3 TB | $15 |
| Standard | s-2vcpu-4gb | 2 | 4 GB | 80 GB | 4 TB | $20 |
| Standard | s-4vcpu-8gb | 4 | 8 GB | 160 GB | 5 TB | $40 |
| Standard | s-6vcpu-16gb | 6 | 16 GB | 320 GB | 6 TB | $80 |

| Standard | s-20vcpu-96gb | 20 | 96 GB | 1,920 GB | 10 TB | $480 |
| Standard | s-24vcpu-128gb | 24 | 128 GB | 2,560 GB | 11 TB | $640 |
| Standard | s-32vcpu-192gb | 32 | 192 GB | 3,840 GB | 12 TB | $960 |
Available Droplet plans, the resources they provide, and the size slug used to identify them can be accessed programmatically by querying the /v2/sizes endpoint.
DigitalOcean upgrades Memory, SSD and vCPU across all Standard, Flexible and Optimized Droplet plans.
With the release in AMS3, we now have volumes in all regions.
Domain Record resources have been updated to add support for CAA records. As specified in RFC-6844, this record type can be used to specify which certificate authorities (CAs) are permitted to issue certificates for a domain.
For example, in order to restrict TLS/SSL certificate creation for example.com to letsencrypt.org, you would use a request like:

For more information on how to use CAA records, see this tutorial on our community site.
Our API has been extended to support configuring the TTL value for individual domain records. This can be done when creating a new record as well as when updating an existing one via a PUT request. See the domain record documentation for further information.
Our API currently offers the ability to “rename” a tag by sending a PUT request to /v2/tags/$TAG_NAME. Due to low usage and operational complexities involved with its maintenance, we are deprecating this functionality. Beginning April 26th, 2017 all requests to this endpoint will respond with an HTTP status of 410 (Gone).
A tag’s name also serves as its unique identifier. We’ve found that the ability to change a tag’s name introduces unneeded complexity. If you need guidance on this transition, reach out to the team by opening a support ticket.
You may now pass tags as an attribute when creating one or more new Droplets. This optional parameter will create and apply the specified tag(s) to the newly created Droplet(s). For more information see create Droplet documentation.
API v2 now supports volume snapshots, and exposes a unified snapshot endpoint for volume and Droplet snapshots.
Size objects now contain a size\_gigabytes attribute which represents the physical size of the image in gigabytes. For more information see the images documentation.
API v2 now supports tagging and managing tagged droplets.
API v2 now supports creating multiple droplets simultaneously.
Account objects now contain a floating\_ip\_limit attribute which provides the maximum number of floating IPs that may be provisioned by the account. For more information, see the account documentation.
API V2 now supports enabling backups on a Droplet.
Account objects now contain status and status_message attributes, describing whether an account is locked, active or has a pending warning. For more information, see the account documentation.
We’ve deprecated final (temporary) snapshots and therefore temporary is no longer an acceptable value for type for a snapshot.
The access token response from the OAuth API now returns a canonical UUID for an account. This should be used to canonically identify a user.
Since releasing version 2 of our API nearly a year ago and officially bringing it out of beta last month, we’ve seen a tremendous uptake of usage by our community. As the ecosystem of tools and libraries continues to grow, we’ve decided that it is time to sunset version 1 of the API.
Don’t worry! We’re not going to pull the rug out from under you. In order to give everyone time to port their tools, version 1 will not be turned off until Monday, November 9, 2015.
With its (more) RESTful interface and features like OAuth support, v2 is both powerful and easy to use. Our developer documentation should give you all the information you need to begin the transition. If you have questions, you can always ask on our Community site or on Twitter.
We are very pleased to announce that API v2 is no longer in beta. Thank you to everyone who helped report bugs and suggest features during the beta period. Read more about this release on our blog.
The Image action endpoint now responds to a convert attribute, that allows backups and temporary snapshots to be saved permanently as snapshots. For more information, see the image actions documentation.
Images objects now return a type attribute, describing whether they are snapshots, backups or temporary images. For more information, see the images documentation.
Size objects now expose an available boolean attribute, which represents whether new Droplets can be created with the size.
All action objects, i.e. those returned by the /v2/actions, /v2/droplets/$ID/actions and /v2/images/$ID/actions endpoint now return a region_slug attribute, in addition to a region attribute. At 00:01 March 20, 2015 UTC, API v2 will start returning an embedded region object at the region attribute, not a slug.
For example, the API request:
curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN' \
"https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/actions?page=1&per_page=1"
would return:

Two new endpoints in API v2 report if droplets are running on the same physical hardware. They exist for an individual droplet or for an entire account.
The maximum allowed rate limit per O-Auth token has been increased to 5,000 requests/hour.
The images now supports a private filter which will allow you
to retrieve all images that are specific to your account (IE: backups and snapshots).
For more information, you can view the documentation for this endpoint here.
API V2 now validates SSH key IDs and identifiers passed into the Droplet create call. In addition, API V2 now validates that requested features are available for a Droplet (backups, private networking, IPv6 and user data).
The API v2 now supports retrieving images by type, to retrieve an image by type, simply append:
GET /v2/images?type={distribution,application}
Change type to what you would like to retrieve and voilà!
DropletKit (The Ruby API Client) also supports this functionality as well in Version 1.1.0
You can view the documentation for this feature here.
The JSON object for a droplet no longer contains a nested Size object, but rather a slug called size_slug that references a Size object. See the droplet docs for the updated structure.
The Image JSON object now includes a min_disk_size attribute that contains the slug of the minimum size droplet required for that image. For example a snapshot of a 1 Gig droplet will have “1gb” as it’s min_disk_size.
Remove embedded action_ids from Droplet and Image.
Both price_monthly and price_hourly were previously strings. This made them harder to work with so we have turned them into floats.
We have tweaked the per_page limits to default to 20 and be a maximum of 200. We have found in our testing, so far, for this to be a good balance of requests versus results. Head on over and read up on pagination.
API V2 now supports disabling backups on a Droplet.
API V2 now supports expanding a droplet’s disk size, along with other resources.
Want to know which regions support IPv6 or Private Networking? It is now possible to check which features are enabled in each region.
It seems adding X- to custom HTTP headers is going out of style, so we have changed our RateLimit headers to no longer include the X.
They now look like this:
RateLimit-Limit:
RateLimit-Remaining:
RateLimit-Reset:
