DigitalOcean MicroVMs: the compute foundation for building your AI agent infrastructure (private preview)
An AI agent uses compute differently than a traditional application. Over a single session, it writes and runs code, calls a model, and waits on a tool or a person before picking the work back up. As a result, it needs real compute in short, intensive bursts. It also needs a hard boundary around the code it just generated, so one agent’s mistake can’t spread to the host or to other customers.…

Introducing Agent Droplets: everything an agent needs, one price, one bill
Last week we launched DigitalOcean Managed Agents in public preview: a managed runtime, governed access to more than 16,000 tools, serverless inference, and persistent memory and storage, all on one cloud. Developers have already started thousands of agent sessions. Today we’re making the next part simpler: paying for it. Building an agent that does something useful has gotten easy. Running it…
How DigitalOcean Manages Credentials for Autonomous Agents
Built to align with NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety Platform strategy for securing autonomous agents Consider an agent investigating a duplicate charge. It reads the customer’s email, checks their billing history, issues a refund, and updates a support ticket. Completing that workflow requires access to confidential information and permission to change business records. At thousands of tickets a day,…
The agent-first cloud: why we built Managed Agents
Compute (EC2) opened the front door to the first generation cloud. Agents need something different: compute, inference, and data working as one. We built the cloud that delivers all three as one simple, intuitive developer experience for AI-natives. Every era of the cloud has its own unit of work. For the last twenty years, that unit was the virtual machine hour. Customers came for the compute,…

Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now support Kubernetes version 1.37
Kubernetes version 1.37 introduced several new features and bug fixes, and AWS is excited to announce that you can now use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon EKS Distro to run Kubernetes version 1.37. Starting today, you can create new EKS clusters using version 1.37 and upgrade existing clusters to version 1.37 using the EKS console, the eksctl command line interface, or through…
