I’m getting weird spikes in bandwidth, disk, and CPU usage. What could be causing this? It’s a pretty standard LAMP stack. Only a few days old. http://i.imgur.com/DcDXtdH.jpg

When you deploy a droplet, the initial deployment and setup is going to cause CPU, RAM and Disk I/O spikes. This is completely normal and once the droplet is a week old, or older, the graphs will begin to normalize.
