Simple Kubernetes in Clicks

Provision and deploy to production-grade Kubernetes clusters with just a few clicks, using doctl CLI, terraform or your preferred method —to get your app to market faster.

Simple, Managed Kubernetes

Leave the Kubernetes infrastructure to us so you can focus on building world-changing apps. Forget manual installs, bugs, upgrades, and maintenance for your cluster.

Full Kubernetes API

Provision a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster and we provide a control plane and endpoint to use with the kubectl CLI or any Kubernetes ecosystem tool.

Simplified Day-2 Ops

Go beyond setting up Kubernetes clusters to creating a faster development cycle with our hands-on command-line tutorials and guided configuration.

Get new capabilities and releases faster

The control plane can be updated continuously behind the scenes to ship new features and address bugs, requiring less cluster upgrades and manual interventions from you. If desired, enable automatic updates to new versions of Kubernetes.

Start fast with Kubernetes 1-Click Apps

Deploy preconfigured open source software to quickly set up your cluster or for user-facing applications with our 1-Click Apps that use helm.

ArgoCD

Implement GitOps or continuous delivery on top of Kubernetes so your devs can deliver code faster with this popular open source tool.

Cert-Manager

Kubernetes needs certificate management, and this open source tool is specifically designed to work with Kubernetes to manage your certificates.

NGINX Ingress Controller

An ingress controller at the edge of your VPC, this tool is an entry point for your Kubernetes network at layer 7 of the OSI model. It handles and routes HTTP requests straight to your apps.

Knative

Build and deploy serverless applications using Kubernetes. This open source tool can handle tasks like maintaining Kubernetes manifests to deploy apps, roll back to a previous revision, route traffic, scale up or down to meet load demand, etc.
