DigitalOcean Kubernetes

During the past few months, more than 30,000 developers have used their platform to learn Kubernetes and deploy web applications, microservices, CI/CD pipelines, IoT applications, blockchain-based services, CDNs, VPNs, and all kinds of APIs. Now it is open to everyone.

Kubernetes is the standard open source platform to automate the management and scaling of modern, containerized applications. As businesses adopt cloud native microservice architectures, it serves as the orchestrator to increase application availability, scalability, and portability – while also lowering costs.

You can accelerate your releases with DOK8s:

• Faster Deployments
  Configure a Kubernetes cluster in seconds. Provision and access your cluster in a few minutes.
• Easy Scaling
  Reliably scale your persistent storage and incoming traffic using the native integration with Block Storage and Load Balancers.
• Improved Performance & Lower Costs
  See up to 2.4x better price to performance compared to other providers.

Pricing is based only on the underlying used resources such as Droplets, Block Storage, and Load Balancers. Each Kubernetes cluster now starts with two Droplets of your choice. You can also add Block Storage and Load Balancers at standard rates.

Roadmap

For the future, DigitalOcean is planning to add tons of new features including a private and integrated container image registry, cluster metrics, new global regions, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) integration with Teams, and autoscaling as well as automated Kubernetes version upgrades. Stay tuned!
