Overview

DigitalOcean compute includes VMs, managed PaaS, serverless functions, and managed Kubernetes, plus GPU offerings for AI workloads.

Droplets (VMs)

Use Droplets for full OS control and custom networking.

Choose region and Droplet plan.
Select an OS image or snapshot.
Add SSH keys for secure access.
Attach Volumes for persistent block storage.
Apply firewalls and VPC configuration.

App Platform (PaaS)

Use App Platform to deploy from Git or container images with managed build and runtime.

Connect a Git repository or container registry.
Define build and run commands or app spec.
Set environment variables and secrets.
Configure custom domains and HTTPS.

Functions (FaaS)

Use Functions for event-driven or lightweight API workloads.

Create a Functions namespace.
Deploy functions with doctl or the Control Panel.
Configure environment variables and triggers.
Monitor execution and logs.

Kubernetes (DOKS)

Use managed Kubernetes for multi-service container orchestration.

Create a cluster and node pools.
Save kubeconfig for cluster access.
Deploy workloads with Kubernetes manifests.
Pull images from Container Registry.

GPU Compute

Use GPU Droplets or Bare Metal GPUs for AI and ML workloads.

GPU Droplets: VM-based GPU workloads with flexible sizing.
Bare Metal GPUs: Dedicated GPU hardware for high performance.

Compute Selection Guide

Use Droplets for full control and custom configurations.
Use App Platform for managed app deployments from Git or containers.
Use Functions for event-driven workflows and micro APIs.
Use Kubernetes for multi-service container orchestration.
Use GPU Droplets or Bare Metal GPUs for AI or GPU-heavy workloads.

Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

digitalocean-storage: Spaces, Volumes, and backups.
kubernetes: Cluster operations and troubleshooting.
docker: Container build and runtime patterns.

Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.
