#2They seem to be headed towards being an "AWS light". Would be nice to be have an alternative with reasonable egress costs. Still a long way to go though. At a minimum, they would need a more configurable load balancer and some S3 type function.

Feels like a losing battle. AWS codestar is essentially the DO/Heroku killer.

I would be extremely happy with DO if they put out an S3 competitor. Right now, most of my servers are on DO, the only things I need AWS for is a single windows server to run some windows only software, and S3 to store my database backups.

I don't necessarily think so. There's still a reasonable market for things like DO/Heroku, AWS inherently isn't trying to make it easier for people. I just wish I could have their image support and interface with dedicated hardware.

#6Features like this feel like table stakes for cloud hosting in 2017, so it's nice to see DigitalOcean on board.
It'll be interesting to see what the tooling support looks like for this, it looks like it's launching with API support day one: https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/ which is great. It looks like they're already working to get it into Terraform: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/15121 which is fantastic!
I look forward to the day that I can automatically spin up a DigitalOcean set of Droplets running Kubernetes using this.

And yet I instantly prefer DO to AWS because of the experience and good customer support and developer relations. Takes almost no time getting up to speed, while AWS feels like a better fit for large enterprise, which I'm not in that world. Codestar all they want, it's still AWS.

#8DigitalOcean is killing it against Linode - I just migrated my last services off Linode because you still cannot attach arbitrary sized disks to your instances, something they've been promising as arriving "soon" for months. Go DO!

#9It's not clear what this offers over the usual iptables/firewalld + ansible solution. What am I missing?

Throwaway, but I would bet money that you'll see this pretty soon on DO - hang in there!
