Ubuntu 25.10 has reached end of life.

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.

Updated NVIDIA AI/ML Ready ( gpu-h100x1-base, gpu-h100x8-base ) Droplet base images are now available in the Control Panel and through the API.

The images are based on Ubuntu 24.04 (upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04) and include NVIDIA driver 580.173.02 and CUDA 13.1, providing the latest NVIDIA GPU support for AI/ML workloads.

AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs are now available in MEM1 as Spot GPU Droplets in 1- and 8-GPU configurations.

Spot prices vary daily based on available capacity. For pricing, see Spot GPU Droplet pricing.

Spot GPU Droplets are now available in public preview for supported GPUs in single-GPU and 8-GPU configurations.

DigitalOcean has patched “Safe RET” across our AMD Droplet fleet.

We applied the fix at the infrastructure level, and no customer action is required. For more information, see AMD’s security bulletin, AMD-SB-7061.
