  Hello everybody, First, I would like to thank you for your patience and for bringing this request to us. Today we updated our DNS panel and API to allow the creation of CAA records, and our DNS infrastructure will reply to CAA queries. We created a tutorial with instructions on how to create and manage CAA records: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-and-manage-caa-records-using-digitalocean-dns You can also create CAA records using the API. The command below will create a CAA record allowing Let's Encrypt to create certs for the domain "mydomain.com": curl -X POST -d '{"type":"CAA","name":"@","data":"letsencrypt.org.","priority":null,"port":null,"ttl":1800,"flags":0,"tag":"issue"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/mydomain.com/records We will still make a few adjustments, and more documentation will be updated in the next few weeks, but today's update should be enough to get you started. If you have more suggestions, please send them through UserVoice, we do listen to your feedback. Thanks a lot
