Will I be able to scale independent factors of a Droplet in the future?

Posted on August 28, 2015

I realize that right now, per https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing, a Droplet size is fixed, and to get to a resource level you want on any factor (CPU, RAM, storage, transfer), you need to upgrade the entire Droplet.

Is Digital Ocean planning a way to scale individual factors (eg just CPU) in the future - ie, to atomicize pricing in such a manner that I could get, say, a 8 CPU, 16 GB RAM Droplet with only 40GB of storage? Or a 2 CPU, 2 GB RAM system with 1TB of storage?
