Enhance your Floating IP feature with inter-datacenter/inter-region fail-over

For example, NYC1 -> SFO1. In the event where NYC1 goes down during a Sharknado, the IP would automatically transition to SFO1 or TOR1 or whatever I configure, where a hot-standby droplet takes over.

Firewall - IPSec protocols 50 and 51

Hello Would be nice to have support for IPSec-ESP (50) and IPSec-AH (51) protocols in DigitalOcean Firewall. Currently I have to use iptables since DO FW is limited to TCP, UDP and ICMP

IPv6 for load balancers

So far, load balancers only get an IPv4 and no IPv6. In practice, this means that load balancers cannot be used if you want to provide IPv6 connectivity. I would love to use this feature, but only if IPv6 was made available.

Allow launching droplets with no public ipv4 IP and give a discount for this

Other posts have commented on the cost of providing extra IPv4 IPs. It strikes me many users may not actually need a public IP for their usage, and if appropriately incentivised would choose not to use one.

Allow unique credit cards per droplet

For different project I may want to use different credit cards, ie if someone else is paying for my hosting. Currently, you can't assign billing of a droplet to a particular card.

Floating IPv6 Addresses

We'd like to use floating IPs to seamlessly move traffic from one droplet to another when re-deploying services. However, we also aim to support IPv6 and already receive a lot of traffic via v6. As floating IPs are IPv4 only, this severely limits ...

Add the ability to rename Storage Volumes

We can rename droplets, but storage volumes are stuck at whatever they happened to be named on creation. Having the ability to change the name would be nice for organization. I have a droplet named volume-sfo2-## and keep forgetting what I am us...

MariaDB managed database

It would be nice to be able to use MariaDB as a managed database on DO in addition to MySQL, as it provides some features that MySQL does not, and it receives more frequent updates.
