Hey friend!

Great questions. I believe the thought behind hostname is just that it’s easier to commit to a hostname than an IP, and it gives us some of the management power there. Likely never relevant, but some things you regret later if you don’t implement before you know you need them.

Private IP access to your managed database is absolutely coming. We intend to have that implemented before we start billing for bandwidth on the product. No one wants to pay for bandwidth between their droplet and database, and our intent is to provide that clear path.

Did you secure the connection via SSL cert provided by DO?
print(“Using psycopg2”)
import psycopg2
myConnection = psycopg2.connect( host=hostname, user=username, password=password, dbname=database, sslmode=‘verify-ca’, sslrootcert=sslrootcert,sslcert=sslcert , sslkey=sslkey)

I am unable to get the SSL Key for that purpose? Can anyone pls share how to get SSL Key from the Managed Postgres SQL’s SSL setup?

Thanks and Advance.
