Does DigitalOcean use OpenStack?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:04 pm

DigitalOcean is a cloud computing company that provides virtual servers, cloud storage, and a range of other services. It offers both a free and paid plan.

In June 2017, DigitalOcean announced that it was using OpenStack to power its cloud. This switch makes DigitalOcean one of the largest OpenStack providers.

PRO TIP: OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter. OpenStack is released as open source software, with most development and contributions coming from vendors and the open source community.

DigitalOcean does not use OpenStack.

DigitalOcean’s switch to OpenStack has been successful. The company has been able to improve its cloud performance and reliability.

Additionally, DigitalOcean has been able to reduce its costs associated with cloud usage.
