Product Updates

IOPS and Throughput for Volumes Block Storage increased by 50%. Interested in more information? Check out the Volumes Release Notes. Introducing a new CPU-Optimized Droplet plan with 48 vCPUs, designed for applications that need more computing power. You can use these Droplets as standalone Droplets or as Kubernetes nodes.  In a few clicks and no infrastructure to manage, scheduled functions are the simplest way to run on-demand functions via the cloud console or doctl command line interface (CLI). Want to try out scheduled functions? Visit the product docs for a comprehensive walkthrough. This KubeCon, we’re thrilled to announce our new operators that use Kubernetes automation and orchestration to manage DigitalOcean resources and a solution blueprint to manage egress traffic. DigitalOcean Functions now enables developers to schedule functions at a desired time via Cron expressions. Scheduled functions is now in Beta*, and users can access it via the Cloud console and doctl command line interface (CLI). Want to try out scheduled functions? Visit the product docs to learn more. We are increasing the maximum possible timeout for functions from 30 seconds to 15 mins. This timeout extension makes it easier for users to run batch processing or complex background tasks. The new timeout can be set both via the Cloud console and the doctl CLI. Learn more about setting function timeouts here. We are excited to announce the introduction of the latest generation of AMD EPYC™ processors for our Premium AMD Droplet plans. Powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, superfast PCIe Gen 4 storage, and high-speed 100 GbE networking, these Droplets can now provide even better performance. While customers do not choose the processor their Droplet runs on, some Droplets created in SFO3, SGP1, FRA1, and NYC1 data centers will run on 3rd gen AMD EPYCTM processors and as we continue to deploy more, this will increase the likelihood of new Droplets running this generation. Check out the Droplet plan information page to see if premium AMD Droplets are the right fit for you. *Beta releases may not be appropriate for production-level workloads. We encourage users to use simulated test data and avoid running sensitive workloads in Beta products.
