Using the API.

You can use a tool such as doctl – https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl and some shell scripts

Another solution is to use Hashicorp’s Terraform - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-terraform-with-digitalocean

We use our own automation platform, Tines, for management of our Digital Ocean Droplet automation. We create/delete droplets, add/remove tags, manage DNS and more. It works great! We wrote about how we do it in the below blog post. If you’d like to know more I’m happy to talj through the details - feel free to send me a DM.
