DigitalOcean has announced an enhancement to its Block Storage Volumes, improving performance by reducing cluster latency by 50% and adding burst support for spiky workloads. The upgrade, which includes the latest version of Ceph, Luminous v12.2.2, provides infrastructure needed to manage databases with low latency requirements. The new burst support automatically increases IOPS and bandwidth rates for short periods before returning to baseline performance. DigitalOcean has also invested in quality of service (QoS) features and infrastructure improvements to further enhance the experience of Block Storage Volumes.
