Of course, I can understand why DO would choose to make blocking these ports a policy, but just silently doing it one random day without notifying droplet owners is really bad form. I found out the hard way, by missing important notifications from my website and then going down the rabbit hole of why outbound SMTP connections were timing out, etc. DO, if you are going to make network policy changes, notify your customers in advance.

The social link footer still leads with a link to twitter/X. Consider replacing that with links BlueSky, Threads, or both for a more up-to-date, apolitical look.

I have had a great experience with Managed Databases and would like to know if Digital Ocean will be offering Managed Email services in the near future.I have read the Digital Ocean guide that essentially discourages you from creating and attempting to manage an email server, which is not easy task.I alone would switch 12 domains over almost imediately after it was available.This is the only thing that I still use my shared hosting for; custom domain email address.This could bring a lot of new users to the site which is a win for everyone.Thank you for taking the time to read.

It's not clear where issues related to Agents and Knowledge bases belong now.

Are there any plans at DigitalOcean to improve the Ubuntu upgrade process for Droplets. We have a few instances that we can’t update or migrate easily due to constant incoming traffic, and the current method via Console is a bit too manual for our use case. A simpler, one-click Ubuntu upgrade option would be an absolute game-changer

When deploying from a container registry such as DOCR, you cannot add a resource (i.e. dev database) before deploying. You can add one after the fact, but it hampers the deployment process.

On this page it would be very helpful to display whether or not the last indexing was complete. It currently displays Date Created and Last Indexed but the Last Index could still be in progress. There is no way to tell without clicking on the individual knowledge base https://cloud.digitalocean.com/gen-ai/knowledge-bases

Yeap DigitalOcean in other languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, the most used worldwide. This to make it a little friendlier =)

An idea for container hosting involves creating a serverless container platform akin to AWS Fargate or Google Cloud Run. With this platform, developers can effortlessly deploy and run their containerized applications without the burden of managing the underlying infrastructure. The aim is to make the process of microservice development faster, more efficient, and cost-effective, appealing particularly to companies seeking an alternative to traditional corporate approaches.
