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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I receive duplicate maintenance notifications (one per team I belong to). Please implement a system that sends just one consolidated email containing all relevant maintenance information across all my teams.

Dear DigitalOcean Support, I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the recent blocking of SMTP traffic on my account. This sudden change has severely disrupted my application, causing unintended outages. What’s most concerning is that this change was implemented without any prior notice, leaving me no time to prepare or implement an alternative solution. A service provider of your scale should at the very least offer a minimum of 30 days advance notice for changes that can potentially break customer applications. I strongly urge you to reconsider the way such policy changes are communicated. Developers and businesses rely on stability and transparency — not surprise outages due to silent decisions.

There are several posts here asking for Passkey, and no response from DigitalOcean. So I am creating a new post. DigitalOcean team, please add this feature.
