When you upgrade an existing DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) cluster to version 1.37 or later, DOKS automatically enables the CoreDNS Cluster Proportional Autoscaler (CPA) plugin if CoreDNS is still running the default of two replicas.

Starting with DOKS 1.37, GPU device plugins are no longer enabled by default on clusters with GPU nodes.
Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) drivers are available as opt-in cluster plugins ( nvidia_gpu_dra_driver or amd_gpu_dra_driver ). Device plugins ( nvidia_gpu_device_plugin or amd_gpu_device_plugin ) remain available but must be enabled explicitly.

Isolated Worker Nodes for DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) are now in general availability.
Every worker node in an isolated cluster runs without a public IPv4 address, so nodes are removed from the public internet at the network level rather than only protected by a firewall.

The DigitalOcean Control Panel now supports adding and removing allow and deny rules based on IP addresses and CIDR ranges when you create or manage regional load balancers that use HTTP or Network traffic management.

DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) now supports Spot GPU node pools in public preview.
You can run worker nodes on interruptible Spot GPU capacity for AMD Instinct MI350X and MI355X and NVIDIA B300 GPUs, at a lower, variable rate than on-demand GPU nodes.

KubernetesPreviewSep 1, 2026
The peer-to-peer OCI registry plugin for DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) is now in general availability.
The plugin uses Spegel to mirror container image layers across cluster nodes, so a node can pull layers from a peer that already has them instead of the origin registry.
KubernetesGenerally availableSep 1, 2026
v5 Droplet configurations are now available in the atl1, ric1, mkc1, and mem1 datacenters.
They run on 5th Generation AMD EPYC processors for higher per-core performance and let you size compute, memory, storage, and networking independently.

DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) now includes an optional peer-to-peer OCI registry plugin in public preview.
The plugin uses Spegel to mirror container image layers across cluster nodes, so a node can pull layers from a peer that already has them instead of the origin registry.

DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) now supports automatic node remediation in public preview.
DOKS can automatically replace worker nodes that stay unhealthy, based on Kubernetes node conditions and rules you define.
KubernetesPreviewJul 8, 2026
DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) now runs a node readiness controller in public preview.
The controller watches node conditions and holds NoSchedule taints on nodes until required components, including GPU drivers on GPU nodes, report healthy, which prevents pods from scheduling onto nodes that are not yet ready. DOKS deploys and manages the controller automatically.
