Question
Please provide the community updates on the following requests
As a new customer checking out Digital Ocean and also viewing the competition as well, I’m still deciding what platform to focus our efforts into utilizing. Digital Ocean’s pricing model is definitely something I’m a fan of. The services so far have performed exactly as expected, and I’m very happy with the overall system.
But.. there are several things on my mind, and apparently they are on the minds of 5000+ other people as well. Things that we would love to see on Digital Ocean, so despite us being new here, I believe I speak for the crowd on this.
So that the community can further understand what to expect on these things that has been patiently waited on. Please provide at least some cursory updates and/or a roadmap plan for:

I’m including things here that are 5000 votes and up, and also things that are important to me as an individual user. While I have no personal needs in Australia, it does fit in the 5000+ votes category… I do see there was a response on uservoice.com to the AU question, but there’s no date on it. So it’s unclear as to if this is a recent improvement in the status or not.
There is of course an endless list of TODO items for any business. But this is a start of things I (and the Users do as well, according to the votes) consider major missing pieces of functionality.
So, in conclusion, If the DO Staff were to initially respond with just a few words about each item, with things like “Planned for 2018”, or “Won’t do Ever”. that would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks!
