DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.
The Fedora 39 (fedora-39-x64
) base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.
Ubuntu 23.10 (ubuntu-23-10-x64
) base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.
Backups now remain available for four weeks even if the associated Droplet is deleted. Previously, deleting a Droplet would also delete its backups.
You can view your backups and their expiration dates in the control panel and convert them to snapshots.
For more information, see all Droplets release notes.
