DigitalOcean provides a variety of images that you can use to create Droplets and Kubernetes clusters, like Linux distributions, container distributions, 1-Click Applications, and a container image registry.
In addition, you can take snapshots for on-demand disk images of Droplets and volumes, enable backups for automatic weekly Droplet images, and upload custom images to create Droplets with other operating systems or pre-packaged libraries. You can manage the images you create or upload to your account in the Images section of the control panel.
Daily image backups are now available in NYC1 and AMS3.
Daily backups for Droplets are in early availability. You can now enable daily backups on new and existing Droplets in NYC3 and SFO3.
Ubuntu 23.04 has reached end of life. Per our image deprecation policy, this image is now only available via the API. We will remove the Ubuntu 23.04 image from our platform in 30 days.
