DigitalOcean adds internal network access for Spaces buckets from VPC-local Droplets, reducing outbound transfer usage.
Droplets that use the VPC-local DNS resolver can now access Spaces buckets over DigitalOcean’s internal network instead of the public internet. Traffic routed over the internal network does not count against your Spaces outbound transfer allowance.
Private Spaces traffic is available in all regions; in the AMS, NYC, and SFO region groups, Droplets can also access Spaces buckets in other datacenters within the same group over the internal network. For more details, see the Spaces bandwidth billing documentation.

DigitalOcean adds broader security and GPU capabilities across Kubernetes and Droplets, including general availability of control plane firewalls, CSPM, and NVIDIA B300 GPU options, plus single-node B300 GPU worker nodes for DOKS by contract only.
NVIDIA B300 GPUs are now available as single-node GPU worker nodes in DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS), by contract only. To add B300 GPU nodes to your cluster, contact sales. Learn more about GPU worker nodes.
Control plane firewalls for DigitalOcean Kubernetes are now in general availability. Control plane firewalls restrict access to your cluster’s API server to a set of allowed IP addresses. Worker node IPs are automatically kept in sync as nodes scale up or down.
You can enable control plane firewalls using the DigitalOcean API, doctl, or Terraform.
NVIDIA B300 GPUs are now generally available in RIC1, by contract only. B300 GPUs are available in 1- and 8-GPU configurations for GPU Droplets via the control panel and via the API using slugs gpu-b300x1-288gb (1 GPU) and gpu-b300x8-2304gb (8 GPUs). Learn more about GPU Droplet plans.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is now generally available. CSPM evaluates your DigitalOcean resources for misconfigurations and security risks, surfaces findings by severity, and provides guided remediation to help you resolve them. For more information, see the CSPM documentation.
