Summary

VPC Peering is now generally available for all DigitalOcean customers, offering enhanced features such as the ability to create VPC-native DOKS clusters via the UI and add Pod and service networks as trusted sources for databases. This update streamlines the process of connecting DOKS workloads with Managed Databases, while also providing secure, private connectivity, seamless multi-region scaling, simplified network management, and safeguards for regulated industries. The feature integrates seamlessly with other DigitalOcean products, including Droplets, Kubernetes (DOKS), and Databases, and is ultra simple to set up, requiring just a few clicks to establish bi-directional peering between VPCs. However, some limitations apply, such as not supporting Inter-Team VPC Peering or inter-DC VPC Peering in the BLR1 data center, and requiring manual updates for older managed databases.
