SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates and guides the management of DigitalOcean Compute resources (Droplets, volumes, snapshots, firewalls, reserved IPs, SSH keys, and tags) to streamline cloud infrastructure tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create, configure, and manage Droplets with best practices, including user-data (cloud-init), SSH key usage, and region/size choices.
  • Manage volumes, snapshots, and backups to ensure data durability and easy recovery.
  • Configure network security with Cloud Firewalls and Reserved IPs, and organize resources with tags for scalable deployments.

Quick Start

Provision a new Ubuntu 24.04 Droplet in NYC3 with SSH keys and optional user-data, then attach a volume and set up basic firewall rules.
