Question
How is Digitalocean provisioning so fast compared to other cloud providers?

I use DO for my personal projects and Azure for work related things. I notice that when I start a VM in DO it generally launches in well under a minute while in Azure it can take up to 2 or even 3 sometimes. I’m curious how from a technical standpoint DO is so much faster.

Hi there @kcaps,
If you are curious about what happens when you create a Droplet, I would recommend watching the following talk from the DigitalOcean Deploy Conference a few months ago:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
