Scale up as you grow — whether you're running one virtual machine or ten thousand.

From GPU-powered inference and Kubernetes to managed databases and storage, get everything you need to build, scale, and deploy intelligent applications.

When running a simple top command, you notice that while running nothing else, the User role may consume 7% of the droplet. Idle fluctuates between 92%-88%. However, when looking at the DigitalOcean dashboard I noticed that during those same instances, the droplet’s ‘CPU Usage’ statistic barely reached 1%.
I’m curious about the ‘CPU Usage’ stat in general. If an idle reading is 0% while the DigitalOcean ‘CPU Usage’ stat shows maybe 1%- does that mean that 100% of the CPU was dedicated to a task at that moment, but during that moment the CPU itself was only taxed at 1% of its total capability??
Trying to wrap my head around monitoring and system health. Thank you!!
