Question
How do I create a smallest droplet which costs $5/mo through ansible?
I use digital ocean droplet module within my playbook
e.g.
- name: Create droplet
digital_ocean_droplet:
state: present
name: "test-droplet"
region: "fra1"
size: "1gb"
# disk: "25"
image: "ubuntu-20-04-x64"
unique_name: yes
oauth_token: "{{ do_api_token }}"
After running it, I have got a droplet with 1 GB / 1 CPU and 30 GB SSD disk which costs $10/mo. Actually, I don’t see an option to specify disk size in https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#create-a-new-droplet
Is it possible to have the cheapest one created by ansible’s playbook?

Hello, @skierat
Could you please try with using the following as size:
size: "s-1vcpu-1gb"
This should create the droplet with 1 CPU / 1 GB Memory / 25 GB Disk
If you’re using the API this will be the same as in the example listed in:
https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#create-a-new-droplet
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer b7d03a6947b217efb6f3ec3bd3504582" -d '{"name":"example.com","region":"nyc3","size":"s-1vcpu-1gb","image":"ubuntu-16-04-x64","ssh_keys":[107149],"backups":false,"ipv6":true,"user_data":null,"private_networking":null,"volumes": null,"tags":["web"]}' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
If you’re using doctl :
doctl compute droplet create sammy-test --size s-1vcpu-1gb --image ubuntu-18-04-x64 --region fra1 --ssh-keys 11:11:11:11:1:1:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:1
Where you need to replace the the key with your actual key.
Hope this helps!
Let me know how it goes
