Do Very Large Droplets Span Multiple Physical Servers?

Posted on February 15, 2025

I’m considering using a large Droplet on DigitalOcean, possibly one with 60 vCPUs. I’m curious about how these are provisioned. Do such large Droplets run on a single physical server, or are they spread across multiple physical machines?

Understanding this would help me plan for performance and potential failure scenarios. Any insights would be appreciated!
