Are droplets static after spin up

Posted on April 14, 2015

I have a question on the droplets and the hard drive space are these like Amazon EBS, where you must configured a EBS storage for your files? Ir does this work more like a VPS, where once you spin up the server its yours and you only have to worry about taking regular backups. Just trying to get a feel of how this works and what would be the process if I needed to spin up a higher level droplets from the initial that I set.

The storage works like a VPS would. Once you spin up the droplet you have the available disk space which is attached to your droplet. There is no outside service to configure or add-on for storage on your droplets.
