Given that now “Security and customer trust are at the core of what we do”, it would be nice if they could fix the massive oversight in their Spaces offering where every API key has full access to all spaces/buckets.
This is nice, but Kubernetes already does enough in that department for our needs. Given that now “Security and customer trust are at the core of what we do”, it would be nice if they could fix the massive oversight in their Spaces offering where every API key has full access to all spaces/buckets.
I also wish they'd add the feature to turn DO Spaces into a static server, like most other cloud providers.

$0.01/GB is fantastic, but I have a bandwidth intensive ML media application and don't know how to monetize or sell it quickly enough to pay for my bandwidth costs. Is there a cloud or dedicated server farm with even cheaper outbound bandwidth? Edit: as much as I hate Oracle, their first 10TB is free, and each GB after that is $0.0085/GB. Better...
If you’re okay with servers located in Germany, Hetzner is a provider I can vouch for and they offer additional egress at 1EUR/TB. 20TB included, too. (Billing has been rather painful, though.)
Not unlimited to 10gbps - but free up to 20tb:
> Traffic usage is unlimited and free of charge. Please note that our unlimited traffic policy does not apply to servers that have the 10G uplink addon. In this special case, we will charge the usage over 20TB with € 1.00/TB. (The basis for calculation is for outgoing traffic only. Incoming and internal traffic is not calculated.) There is no bandwidth limitation.
I'd have been more interested if it could be made to work across regions... I also thought private network addresses had been available on DO for a while now.

Guess who‘s favorite evil corp cloud is a magnitude cheaper than AWS on transfer pricing? Oracle, which is why Zoom just signed a deal. https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/why-zoom-chose-oracle-clo...
Oracle cloud? The same technology that runs certain state unemployment systems and has been completely unable to scale, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with no income for the last five weeks? Oracle really should remove its logo from the footers of all those collapsing web sites. It's embarrassing.
Nothing to do with Oracle Cloud (although Oracle Cloud won't be on my list unless it's marginally cheaper than other cloud service providers).
BTW: Talking about Oracle Cloud, my free tier trial ended miserably, 2 weeks after provisioning the VMs, Cockpit (I run it on my home NAS - managing/monitoring a small group of cloud VPS using the web UI) reported connection failed, only to find that my account has been terminated without any warning or notification along with my 2 free VMs based in Phoenix, lucky that I didn't actually put any workload on it (left them running only - feeling something's gonna happen...), contacted support and was told account deleted, no reason, redirected me to customer support (my oracle support, I couldn't figure out how that works, so give up...). I still don't understand how Oracle Cloud login works...
Got to love DO. Simple pricing, nothing hidden, not the most feature rich ecosystem, but I get no billing surprises. Source: customer for 3 years.

Dislike Oracle all you want, even many cloud architected applications would fall over with a 25x traffic increase in a single week (remember Fail Whales?).

Over 7 years, 100s of VMs atm. Tried to get into AWS and GCP few times over the years just for the resume-building and fun, didn't see the point. While I can understand they fit some use-cases, I think a good rule of thumb would be - if you don't know why exactly you need AWS/GCP/Azure, go with DigitalOcean. I worked at 2 companies that, if they went with AWS as they've planned, they would've gone under three times o…
