Overview

DigitalOcean provides cloud services for compute, storage, networking, and managed databases, plus monitoring and team management. Use the Control Panel, doctl CLI, REST API, or Terraform for provisioning and operations.

Platform Entry Points

  • Control Panel: Use the web UI for interactive provisioning and monitoring.
  • doctl CLI: Automate resource creation and lifecycle management.
  • REST API: Integrate provisioning into internal tooling.
  • Terraform: Manage infrastructure as code.

Account and Access Setup

  • Create a team and configure billing and access.
  • Enable account security settings (2FA and secure sign-in).
  • Add SSH keys for Droplet access.
  • Create API tokens for automation and CI/CD.

Project Organization

  • Use Projects to group resources by application, environment, or team.
  • Standardize naming to simplify search and ownership.
