Scale up as you grow — whether you're running one virtual machine or ten thousand.

From GPU-powered inference and Kubernetes to managed databases and storage, get everything you need to build, scale, and deploy intelligent applications.

One of the clever things that digitalocean does is to set the hostname of a new droplet to a sensible value. When, and how, does this happen?
I have a third-party daemon (newrelic-sysmond) that needs to know the hostname. When it starts, the hostname still is packer-... and not the hostname set by the digitalocean droplet initiating process. In the /etc/rc structure, the hostname is set in rcS.d/S01hostname.sh, which should occur before rc2.d/S01newrelic-sysmond. However, it seems the hostname still has the name at image-creation time by the time rc2.d/S01newrelic-sysmond is run.
