Digitalocean also should produce and sell chairs, sofas, yoghurt, car tires etc...

Thanks for the feedback, but we aren't Amazon =] - DigitalOcean cofounder

But you started to compete with your customers. Good luck.

Love you guys, I've had a private VM for years, at a good price, with great availability, that does exactly what I need. I also really like the firewall I can adjust through the web interface.

Cheers!

Serious question: Is there an emerging cross platform workflow language to just write stuff to run on any cloud/container hosting setup?

The idea would be to be portable, avoid vendor lock-in and take advantage price differences or quickly route around a system failure in one of the providers.

Kafka, redis,...? Seems pretty standard.

Redis and Kafka are both on the roadmap for the second half. We are starting with PostgreSQL in Q1 and then MySQL.

Good to see someone doing this in the correct order

I'm a long time happy DO user, this is exciting.

I've been managing multiple docker apps (using docker-compose) on DO for years. Is there a guide I can use to transition my apps from docker-compose to k8s? I've dabbled in k8s, but am not an expert at all.

Any suggestions?

DigitalOcean has always been behind the curve of these things. All of the other big cloud platforms have had this for at least a few months. I haven't actually seen anything 'new' come out of DigitalOcean in years.

Offering these things without exorbitant egress charges is 'new' enough for me.

This ^^ just price the bandwith DO throughs with the instances at AWS prices. Plus I know exactly what my bill will be next month :)
