Key Components of DigitalOcean Cloud Infrastructure

Droplets: Scalable Virtual Machines

Droplets are the main building block of DigitalOcean cloud platform that tackles the most important compute component. The following are flexible and wearable scalable virtual machines (VMs) that can be deployed and set up with your own choice of operating system, CPU, and memory. Droplets can be employed in a number of applications, and that includes web application hosting, database operations, and even come with the capability of handling containers. Whether going deep or wide, that is, either increasing resources or buying more Droplets, your infrastructure can easily be adjusted to suit the needs of the changing market.

Key Skills Covered:

• Quick deployment with a wide selection of pre-configured images
• Scalable performance with various Droplet sizes and configurations
• Integrated monitoring and alerting for resource usage
• Automated backups and snapshots for data protection
• Support for custom images and ISO files
