In a significant update to its cloud-native application platform, DigitalOcean has introduced foundational additions to its Kubernetes (DOKS) networking capabilities, enabling users to build and scale their applications globally. The new features aim to provide a more flexible, scalable, and secure networking foundation for cloud-native applications, addressing challenges faced by customers trying to scale beyond single regions. With the introduction of VPC-native clusters, peering, global load balancers, and internal load balancers, DigitalOcean is reimagining its DOKS networking paradigm to empower developers to build robust, resilient applications that can run globally with seamless application scalability and security.
